Could 69 be the new 49? Looks like it!
Sheryl Lee Ralph, 69, is aging like fine wine and slaying the last year of her 60s. The actress blessed Instagram with a picture of herself stunning in a two-piece bikini while visiting Sandals Dunn’s River in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
“I am home in JAMAICA 🇯🇲 😎” the Emmy award-winner wrote in a caption under the video. Her green two-piece bikini and colorful cover-up stole the show.
Ralph spent some time relaxing at the lush resort, which she thanked in the caption. While there, she was a guest of TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, who was broadcasting live from Ocho Rios in a partnership with Sandals Resorts and the Jamaica Tourist Board. When she wasn’t giving the hosts insights into Jamaican life and culture alongside the likes of musicians Shaggy and Sean Paul, she was turning the Internet on its head in her two-piece bikini.
Fellow celebs packed the praise in the comments, noting how stunning the actress is.
“ALL OF THIS!! GOAL!” Kelly Rowland commented, while Naturi Naughton remarked, “Yessss! ❤️❤️ you are Fiiinee Wiiiine okay!”

The Abbott Elementary star posted another video of her standing on the beach in a vibrant orange dress talking about how the characters she plays would spend a day in Jamaica.
90s babies may remember Sheryl played Dee Mitchell on the hit sitcom Moesha. The actress said that character, who was also from Jamaica, would likely “be spending time with her family up in the hills.”
Deena Jones from the original 1981 musical production of ‘Dreamgirls’ on Broadway would be hiding away in a villa surrounded by the best red wine and champagne she could find. Barbara Howard from Abbott Elementary would spend her day on the sea sipping on rum cocktails, according to the actress.
Ralph, who, of course, has deep roots in Jamaica, is loud and proud about her love for the picturesque island and continues to represent it well. Her patriotism and passion doesn’t go unnoticed. In 2022, she received the Honorary Order of Jamaica for her “sterling contribution as an actress, cultural ambassador of Jamaica and for contribution to the international film industry.”

“Oh my God, I love the people, I love their resilience,” she told TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones, commending her people for how they came together and pulled through the aftermath of hurricane Melissa in October 2025. Of course, the Jamaican food was another source of pride that the actress mentioned.
Sixty-nine looks fabulous on this queen, so we imagine her 70s will be equally glorious.
