Sheryl Lee Ralph is letting fans in on a little secret.
At the 2025 Emmys, held at the Peacock Theater, *Abbott Elementary* star Janelle James-nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series-shared the secret to her 20-year happy marriage with husband Vincent Hughes: keeping it simple.
During the *Live From TopMob: 2025 Emmys* red carpet on September 14th, Sheryl advised Zuri Hall, “I always tell people to avoid going to bed angry. Try to talk things through with each other, because most of the time, both people involved deserve the effort.” (You can see photos of all the stars on the Emmys 2025 red carpet here.)
Sheryl is nominated for an Emmy alongside Liza Colon Zayas from *The Bear*, Hannah Einbinder from *Hacks*, Kathryn Hahn and Catherine O’Hara from *The Studio*, Jessica Williams from *Shrinking*, and Janelle James, her co-star from *Abbott Elementary*. She also shared that she feels she has an advantage because she deeply admires the Pennsylvania State Senator. (You can find a complete list of the 2025 Emmy winners here.)
She shared that being married to someone she both loves and genuinely likes makes it easier to navigate disagreements. When she feels angry, she reminds herself, ‘I actually *like* this person.’ While love is constant, she admitted that *liking* someone can sometimes be more difficult, but ultimately, she really does like him.
Okay, so everyone’s wondering about Sheryl’s third Emmy nomination for *Abbott Elementary*, and honestly, she gives so much credit to Quinta Brunson, who created the show and stars alongside her. Sheryl really feels it’s Quinta’s vision that’s made this possible – and I totally agree! It’s amazing when you see that kind of collaborative energy translate to such incredible work.

Honestly, Quinta is just a genius! She’s so incredible with the writing, the pacing, *everything* about this show, I just completely trust her vision. I basically told her, ‘Quinta, you do *you*, girl!’ because the first time we did this, I won an Emmy! And I’ve been nominated every single year since – that *has* to mean she’s doing something right, right? I just let her lead the way, she knows best!
