Markelle Smith grew up in Demopolis, Al. and currently works as a dentist in New York. Markelle came out as gay during his freshman year of college, and while he was worried his conservative Southern Black and Puerto Rican parents would not accept him, Markelle’s parents stand proudly by his side.
As a dentist, Markelle may not be crunching on candy canes this Christmas, but he will certainly be on the dance floor, performing Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” with full choreography, which he knows by heart. Plus, Markelle is working towards getting his yoga teaching certification, following his passion to stay fit and healthy.
So, which lead will find their perfect partner? We’ll just have to wait until New Year’s Eve to see!
12 Dates of Christmas premieres Thursday, Nov. 25 on HBO Max.
