Many of her funniest and sweetest bits and moments from both her stand-up and talk show revolve around her 15 year relationship with her fem girlfriend interior designer Yanise Monét and now Jay has proposed to her.
Jay posted on Instagram Saturday: I told you when we first started kicking it I was gonna marry you … it took some time, some mistakes and a whole lotta patience… but mostly it took an intense love. I have never felt about any one the way I feel about you. You are truly the love of my life and I am so thankful that you said yes. We getting married nigga! @vanity.vixen We in it to win it.

Speaking to People magazine last year Jay said, “”We were always friends. And I think over time, just being connected to one another and not being able to break that connection, a person just becomes family to you. So even when we weren’t necessarily dating, I always felt she was a person who was going to always be in my life.”
Yo @SamJayComic really got a second season to her own show. And the bitch proposed. I’m so proud of this girl

In her Netflix special 3 In the Morning, Jay jokes about a flight they took, during which Monét expected her to carry all the bags. “She forgets, I’m not a man. … I don’t have any chivalry, I don’t give a f—,” she quips in the special.
The lovable teasing is just as present offstage. “We argue a lot and wipe boogies on each other,” Jay jokes. “It’s very immature, but I think we also take care of one another. She prays for me a lot. That’s a big showing of love, and she sages me a lot. So I take that as an action of love, for sure. And I pay for stuff.”
Congratulations ladies, we wish you a long and loving future and we can’t wait for season two of Pause.
