Fortune Feimster of The Mindy Project fame is returning to her stand-up roots in a big way. The comedienne is the latest name joining Netflix’s lineup of stand-up specials, with Fortune Feimster: Sweet & Salty premiering on the streaming giant on January 21. Feimster is delving into her own life experiences for comedic material, including coming out as a lesbian and her long-term relationship. Feimster has been with her fiancee, Jacquelyn Smith, for a while now, and we can see their shared sense of humor is what keeps them strong. With the much-anticipated stand-up feature from Fortune Feimster, it’s time to turn some of that spotlight onto her fiancee in Jacquelyn Smith’s wiki.

She went on to graduate from Chicago State University in 2007, with a masters in elementary education and teaching. At the same time, she gained experience as a kindergarten teacher in a school district in Chicago.

From 2007 to 2016, Smith was an elementary school teacher in Chicago. She currently resides in L.A. with her fiancee and is a teacher at Citizens of the World Los Angeles.

Smith and Fortune Got Engaged in 2018

According to her instagram, Smith realized she was gay when she was in eighth grade. She’s out and proud and an inspiration for a lot of people in the LGBTQ+ community.

In 2012, she met Emily Fortune Feimster, fresh off the heels of Last Coming Standing. They hit it off and have been together since.

After more than two years together, Smith and Feimster announced their engagement in January 2018. Feimster may have even popularized the viral term “feyoncé” with their cute Instagram announcement.

Feimster’s Mindy Project costar, Mindy Kaling, was among the first to publicly congratulate her. She even declared she would officiate their wedding.

There’s no wedding date in sight yet. But we hope Fortune and Jacquelyn give us a peek into their wedding with Mindy Kaling as the officiant.
