“[He was] raised by these white parents but he chose this black woman to share his life with,” Brown told BuzzFeed News
From the very first episode, the marriage between Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) on This Is Us has been the definition of #RelationshipGoals.
When Brown won his Emmy for the show, he even called out the relationship in his acceptance speech. “Susan Kelechi Watson, it is my pleasure to rep black love with you, sister,” he said to his co-star. “Let’s keep doing it like Martin and Gina.”

In Season 1, they supported one another through Randall’s struggle with anxiety and the tragic death of his birth father William (Ron Cephas Jones). And in Season 2, they will embark on their own adoption journey together.

Brown recently spent some time in the This Is Us writers room as they began to map out the next two seasons. And one of his biggest objectives was that the writers include “the things that Randall had to go through as a child” and how they directly informed “how he wound up with Beth.”

“[He was] raised by these white parents but he chose this black woman to share his life with,” Brown told BuzzFeed News while promoting his new movie Marshall. “He didn’t choose Becky … he chose Beth.”
Brown said he wants the audience to be “privy to what transpired in his life to lead him to make that sort of decision.”
