Michael Ealy has been a Hollywood heartthrob for the better part of his acting career, but he's been off the market ever since he married his wife, Khatira Rafiqzada, in 2012. Not much is known about how the two first got together, but according to People, Ealy and Rafiqzada dated for nearly four years before they quietly wed in a ceremony in Los Angeles - they didn't announce their nuptials until two months later. The couple have two children together, son Elijah and daughter Harlem.
Ealy prefers to keep his marriage and personal life pretty private, but he does post photos of his family every now and then on Instagram, especially when his wife's birthday rolls around. In a March 2020 Instagram post, the actor wrote of Rafiqzada, "A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection. The myth goes as such: at the end of it lies a pot of gold.

Get ready to make Hulu's "Reasonable Doubt" your new favorite legal drama. The courtroom series - created, written, and executive produced by "Scandal" alum Raamla Mohamed - has introduced the newest high-powered attorney on the TV block, and her name is Jacqueline "Jax" Stewart (portrayed by Emayatzy Corinealdi). "Reasonable Doubt" comes with an all-star cast that features Michael Ealy, McKinley Freeman, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Pauletta Washington and a stacked production team with executive producers like Kerry Washington and Larry Wilmore.
"The biggest piece of advice that Kerry gave me was to make sure I took my vitamins at the start of the show."
It's been a while since we've seen a Black woman protagonist lead a mainstream legal drama. Most memorably, Viola Davis's Annalise Keating in "How to Get Away With Murder" helped pave the way for others like her. But others like Washington's Olivia Pope from...

As the first series hailing from Onyx Collective, Raamla Mohamed’s “Reasonable Doubt” is helping the new production label define itself as a home for unapologetically Black storytelling.
Currently streaming on Hulu, “Reasonable Doubt” stars Emayatzy Corinealdi as L.A. criminal defense attorney Jax Stewart, who seeming has it all –– a devoted husband, two growing children, a well-paying job, and a group of friends that support her through her highs and lows. But what bubbles beneath the surface of her impressively primped exterior (completed with a variety of hairstyles ranging from sleek to coiled) is a messy underbelly of questionable ethics in and outside of the courtroom as well as a pension for shade-throwing.
Corinealdi says the nuance of her character is what drew her to the project. “We all have these different layers,” she said. “And we don’t always get to see those played out on TV, especially with black women…...

There's a new sexy legal drama in town, and it's got a whole lot of thrills, juicy bombshells, and steamy spectacles. From the mind of "Scandal" veteran Raamla Mohamed comes Hulu's "Reasonable Doubt," a courtroom series that follows high-power criminal-defense attorney Jacqueline "Jax" Stewart (played by Emayatzy Corinealdi) through her relationship quarrels, family struggles, and, oh yeah, the biggest murder case of her career. The show is loosely based on celebrity attorney Shawn Holley, with an all-star cast that includes Michael Ealy, McKinley Freeman, and Sean Patrick Thomas as the show's leading men.

Reasonable Doubt begins in outrageously dramatic fashion, with protagonist Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) tied to a chair and pleading for her life at the barrel of a gun. The episode that follows continues along a similarly soapy vein: After rewinding six months, the show introduces a trio of love interests for Jax to play with and a splashy murder to untangle, setting us up for a season of steamy trysts and rug-pulling reveals.
But anyone who’s suffered through a mediocre thriller knows that bombshell twists alone aren’t enough to hook an audience if the people onscreen otherwise fall flat. Thankfully, Reasonable Doubt — which was created by Scandal vet Raamla Mohamed and boasts a premiere directed by Scandal star Kerry Washington — fares better than plenty of other would-be watercooler shows in that regard, grounding its drama in enjoyable characters, believable relationships and...

Viewers of sexy legal thriller Reasonable Doubt will discover something very much amiss in the seemingly perfect life of hotshot Los Angeles defense attorney Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi). Her husband (McKinley Freeman) left her, she’s worrisomely attracted to both an ex-con client (Michael Ealy) and her own security guard (Toby Onwumere), and she’s defending wealthy Brayden Miller (Sean Patrick Thomas), charged with two horrific anti-woman crimes. So that she’s held at gunpoint — the perp is a central mystery — in the premiere may be the least of her problems. “Jax is definitely complicated,” says creator Raamla Mohamed, an executive producer alongside Kerry Washington, the pilot’s director. “Her relationship with men and with her sexuality get answered as the season goes on.” Sounds like a show soon to be a real guilty pleasure. The show title and each episode title are inspired by Jay-Z’s debut album of...

The drama “If Not Now, When?” owes more to “Waiting to Exhale” than to the women-centric films of Tyler Perry. That’s a good thing, as well as intentional on the part of its first-time feature directors, actors Meagan Good and Tamara Bass. In Perry’s lessons in female fortitude and resilience — a successful brand of melodrama, or melotrauma — the heroine often tangles with a violent, even malevolent love interest. In this engaging debut, Good and Bass and their appealing ensemble aim for something gentler and truer to the ins and outs of day-to-day, year-to-year, joy-and-heartbreak sisterhood.
Releasing on demand and digital Jan. 8, “If Not Now, When?” offers a portrait of longtime, somewhat frayed friendships. It’s not groundbreaking but, written by Bass, the movie serves as a fine reminder of the pleasures of a female-focused story with the stuff of adulthood at its core. The characters are a little more grown-up,...
