Vanessa Williams is going to be a bride. The actress announced that she and her boyfriend, Jim Skrip, have gotten engaged. This will be the third marriage for Williams who was married to Ramon Hervey and NBA player Rick Fox.

Williams new fiancee is in real estate and was once an accountant “back in the day” according to Williams.

The actress, 51, announced her engagement on the Queen Latifah show, where she was asked about the diamond on her left hand by the host.

“Vanessa, I have been trying to have a conversation ladies and gents, but I’m blinded by the light coming from that bling ring on your finger,” Latifah said, according to  BET.

“I have had a lot of good things happen. I turned 50 when we were in rehearsal on Broadway, I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. It has been a lot of blessings on this trip,” Williams replied.

Williams met Skrip while on vacation in Egypt two years ago and apparently they have been going strong ever since.

As Williams quipped, you never know where you will meet the person you marry. It turns out that the pair met in Egypt but really were only six hours away from each other back home.

It’s wonderful to see Williams happy and ready to try marriage again. She is currently promoting her tour with the revival of A Trip To The Bountiful. No wedding date has been announced as of yet.

Congrats to the couple and many happy returns!
