Susan Kelechi Watson Age, Married, Husband, Family
While the actors of a similar age were busy with their married life, an actress seemed to be enjoying her time with a virtual husband. Certainly, it wasn't the case of her maturity, nor any bio-factor that stopped her from getting a husband. So, what was the reason behind?
Well, this onscreen married actress was none other than Susan Kelechi Watson whom fans probably know by another name; Beth Pearson. Beth is the name she got from an American TV series This Is Us where she was married to Randall, played by Sterling K. Brown.
Being on the show, Randall and Beth shared a serious romantic relation but Susan, unfortunately, failed to get inspired to get married in her real life. However, she eventually managed to surprise everyone, find out why.
TV-Husband All That Susan Needs?
The actress had already passed enough ages of her life to start living a married life, but she wasn't dating with any of the men still.
Susan was, actually, not new to being a wife, and had garnered enough experience of it with Sterling. But it's something that people saw in the TV series where they portrayed husband and wife, and they did obviously have their lives beside the TV.
Sterling was a married man who found his better half in Ryan Michelle Bathe in June 2007. They were fellow actors to each other and are were passing a happy married life. The relationship between this couple was more than 15 years old as they started seeing each other since 2002. They later got engaged after four years of their long dating.

Despite being married, Sterling confessed his love for Susan and that too to his wife. He said in an interview,
“I tell my wife, ‘Ryan, I have to tell you that I love Susan. And it’s not a bad thing, and you don’t have to worry, but I need to let you know that I love this woman. She’s such a big giant heart of a human being. She’s so Brooklyn. She’s so New York—she’s got the accent and everything—but underneath that exterior, she’s just as warm a soul as you will ever come in contact with.”
Susan, on the other hand, stood contrary to her TV-husband.
The actress, with the height of 5ft 4 ¾ (164.5 cm), was not willing to get married any sooner and didn't disclose any of her plans for a wedding. She seemed to be busy, enjoying her on-going career and mostly passed her time with Sterling, enjoying her TV life.
Susan and Sterling were the cutest TV couple. Further, they were also parents to three daughters in the show: two biological children Tess and Annie, and an adopted daughter, Deja.
Susan and her onscreen husband often appeared in several events and party together. She even flaunted one of her party picture with her TV-husband on Instagram.
