The up-and-coming actor, who notes he works in ‘entertainment, marketing and branding’, uploaded the four picture post to his personal Instagram page, tagging Sidibe.
He reflected on what he hoped 2020 will bring the couple’s relationship, and said he is grateful for how much Sidibe has pushed him to be a better version of himself.
Frankel referred to Gabby as his ‘queen’ and expressed that the actress is a ‘ball of sunshine’ who is ‘generous’ and full of ‘love.’
‘I love you more and more every single day – which seems impossible, but continually amazes me,’ he continued.
He concluded the post by assuring Sidibe that he loves being her ‘forever dork.’

Frankel stayed true to his role of ‘forever dork’ by flashing a myriad of goofy faces to the camera, while Gabby smiled and laughed by his side.

The pair have reportedly been together since around May of 2019, when Frankel shared a snap of his ‘queen’ smiling alongside him in Los Angeles.
But things didn’t become ‘social media official’ until July when Gabby’s man posted a portrait of the actress on his Instagram referring to her in the caption as his ‘sunshine [girlfriend].

In the months that followed, Frankel went on to post over a dozen photos of himself and his leading lady, where as Sidibe has kept things more private on her end.
The fun-loving couple appeared to be having a blast when they attended fellow actress Taraji P. Henson’s 80s themed birthday party at Fleetwood Roller Rink in October.
Most recently, the actress took her man to Yucatan for his birthday, where they indulged in awe-inspiring Mayan food and other local activities.
‘Pools & jacuzzis, massages and facials, sound baths, meditation, laughing super hard…and more. Crazy to believe 8 days went by that quick. Love you to the moon and back my Queen’ captioned Frankel.
