Blair Underwood got engaged to friend Josie Hart, with whom she had been with for 41 years
Blair Underwood and actress Josie Hart are engaged after 41 years of friendship.
The Sex and the City alum has announced exciting news on Instagram after walking the red carpet for the first time as a couple.
“The most amazing, brilliant, beautiful, hilarious, thought provoking and insightful person I know who constantly lives life out loud,” the actor captioned the photo of the two. “The future is crazy bright, girl!”
The 48-year-old continued: “None of us ever know where God will lead our paths. She supported me even before I became an actor. When a 41-year friendship hits you in the back of the head and blossoms into romance, you get up, pay attention, and step forward gratefully.
While it’s unclear how long the two have been dating, Underwood’s known friends were quick to wish the happy couple all the best.
“Congratulations my friend!” commented Yvette Nicole Brown, while Niecy Nash added: “Issa fiancé 💍💍💍.”
“Someone call 9-1-1 – I’m breathing heavily and I can’t feel my heartbeat anymore,” joked Sherrie Shepherd. “Okay, I’m reborn! Congrats Blair and Josie – glad you have someone in your corner❤️.”
The exciting news comes just one year after the “Quantico” star and Desiree DaCosta – who played a large role in the actor’s success – split after 27 years of marriage.
The former couple, who have Paris, 25, and Blake, 21, and daughter Brielle, 23, announced their separation in May 2021, saying that while their marriage did not last, their “greatest achievement is three amazing children.”
