The couple met on the set of OITNB where Wiley starred as an inmate named Poussey Washington and Morelli serves as a writer and producer. Morelli has said she didn’t come out to herself until after starting work on the show, which features a diverse cast including lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women. She met and fell in love with Poussey and ultimately divorced her then-husband.

Wiley and Morelli got engaged back in October.
