In happy news, actress Raven-Symone married Miranda Pearman-Maday in a small ceremony, the former The View cohost shared on Instagram this week.

"So something happened this week, that has changed my life FOR THE BETTER!" Symone wrote in an Instagram caption that accompanied a picture of a glass of champagne.

"I got married to a woman who understands me from trigger to joy, from breakfast to midnight snack, from stage to home," the That's So Raven star wrote on Instagram. "I love you Mrs. Pearman-Maday!"

A former child star who first rose to fame on The Cosby Show, Symone also shared a joyous photo of her and Pearman-Maday.

Symone, who began to speak openly about her sexual identity in 2013 in response to the Supreme Court decisions that overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8, has now changed her name to Raven-Symone Christina Pearman, according to CNN.

Acknowledging the current state of the world, Symone also wrote, "Thank you to all those who helped and for those who understand why it was small during this time."

In 2014, Symone said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, "I don't want to be labeled gay. I want to be labeled a human who loves humans."
