To win various awards in the entertainment industry is certainly a big thing but not as big as to be the "first African-American" woman to win the Best Director Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and that lady is nonother than Ava Du Vernay.

She is the total package of a director, screenwriter, film marketer, and film distributor she does it all by herself. Her contribution to the film industry is immense.
The 43-year-old actress is very popular among fans and has 148 thousand followers on Twitter.

After being so popular and so successful, she has managed to keep her personal life very low profile.  

Does she have a Boyfriend? Or is She Secretly Married? Husband?

Lately, Ava is in the news for her link up with her pair in her film "Selma" actor Common. According to centrictv.com it states that ;

"The two met in 2014 on the set of Selma. And as of late, our spies have spotted them out together in Hollywood. Our sources have seen them exhibiting date-like behavior holding hands, walking around a few low-key spots in LA 

It further states that;

"They’ve also been spotted together having sushi on Sunset and at the movies in Hollywood (Arclight). In addition to holding hands, they’ve also been spotted kissing and riding around in Common’s Range Rover."

Well with so much of this news going around we are in denial that is they really a couple or not as they have not made anything official as of now and that dating history of her so called boyfriend is also quite eye catching

Actor Common has also been in relationships with Serena Williams (2007 - 2010), Taraji P. Henson (2005 - 2007), Erykah Badu (2000 - 2002) and Karrine Steffans (1999).

Having said that if rumours are to be believed both the couple are trying to maintain a low profile and have yet to go public and announce their official relation when they are ready and as of now we can hope best for the couple.

Ava DuVernay Professional life:

Ava is not only a multi-talented person but an inspiration to many. Ava has made her own path to her success as she made film history when she because the first black female director to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Director for her extraordinary “Selma.”

On an interview, she gave to rogerebert.com on 2014 the director had said many things about her career and professional life so far. She said;

"The "first" of it all is the bittersweet part. I'm certainly not the first black woman deserving of this. You can't tell me that since 1943 there's not been another black woman who's made something worthy of this kind of recognition. But for whatever reason, it hasn't happened. The time is now. I thank them for recognizing Selma. 
She’s a Black woman who saw White men in director roles and decided of telling her own stories as  anything they could do, she could do it too and that is when it all started. 

On a recent interview she gave to essence.com on 2016 she delivered an inspiration statement which stated;

It’s really important, because so much about our society says, ‘Pursue your dreams, go after your dreams.’ When you really try to think about, ‘How do I do that?’ So often we think, it’s got to be all or nothing, I’ve got to quit my job, I’ve got to leave this to do this. I ended up doing it progressively but I wish I would have known that it’s okay. It’s not even that it’s okay, it’s the best way. It’s the best way, you learn a little bit, so when you get there, you’re prepared.

As of now, we wish nothing but the best for Ava for her upcoming projects she has many exciting films lined up for her.
