“Sweet Life: Los Angeles” stars Cheryl Des Vignes and Jerrold Smith II open up about tying the knot in their beautiful hometown ceremony.
Cheryl Des Vignes and Jerrold Smith II were writing their Los Angeles love story long before it ever played out on their Max reality show.
The high school sweethearts built a life together while they were in college — Smith, a basketball player at UCLA, and Des Vignes, a fashion design student at the Otis College of Art and Design — and continued to do so years after when they were tapped for the cast of Issa Rae’s “Sweet Life: Los Angeles.”
The hit series, which ran for two seasons on Max from 2021 to 2022, followed the duo and their friends as they navigated being young, Black and ambitious in South LA. But beyond that, the show also offered a beautiful portrayal of young Black love, as it captured Smith and Des Vignes taking their relationship to new heights.
“Sweet Life: Los Angeles” became a backdrop for so many of the couple’s chapters — from celebrating anniversaries and moving in together to getting engaged just before Season 2’s premiere — right in the city where their romance began.
So, it’s only right that Des Vignes and Smith tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on May 1 at the historic Majestic Downtown venue in the heart of LA, surrounded by their closest friends and family.
