Asked what advice she would give herself and her family in 2009, the year she married Alano Miller, before experiencing a range of television and movie roles and recognition, Wise shared with The Shade Room,
Everyone thinks that things need to be perfect before they jump into them. So I think I would remind myself [sic]. I feel like back then, I thought that I lived by an ideology — a kind of radical faith that would meet the moment.
Wise, continued to self-reflect revealed that her marriage to “Underground” and “Cherish The Day” star Alano Miller. She called her career growth in tandem with her marriage “satisfying.”
You know Alano and I have been dreaming many of the things that we’re doing now. And the life that we’re living now we’ve been talking about, dreaming about, and envisioning. You know, like “oh, I can’t wait” for years. So it’s just really satisfying. To be in a relationship that’s evolved and grown in tandem. With our lives, our careers, our friends, and our families.
