After dating for nearly a year, KJ Smith and Skyh Alvester Black, co-stars on the Tyler Perry series Sistas, are now engaged to be married.

Smith, who also has a career in modeling, shared the news on Instagram earlier this week, writing, “YES! 💍 Thank you so much for all of the messages of love and support. Thank you to my family and friends for sharing this moment with me and for keeping such a huge surprise a secret 🤣🤣. This is definitely the best Christmas I’ve ever had. I get to share my life with my soul mate❤️ I love you @skyhblack unconditionally!”

“Complete …thank you God🙏🏽” Black also shared the engagement with his followers, posting a captured photo of the moment he proposed to Smith.

Speaking about the moments leading up to him and Smith becoming a couple, Black recently shared with Essence, “Once I got All The Queen’s Men she actually shot me a DM and said, ‘Hey, I didn’t get a chance to get your number, but I just wanted to tell you, congratulations. If you need any advice, if you need anything like that, don’t hesitate to reach out.’ I was like, cool.”

At that time, she was on Family Business, and I said, ‘Thank you,’ and I congratulated her on

Family Business.”

“We actually just called each other. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll take you up on that.’ So I called her, and we had a three-hour conversation. We had this beautiful three-hour conversation just about life, about navigating the industry.” the actor continued. “Then the next day, we actually talked again about something, and it went to a two-hour conversation. I’ll be honest, I just said, ‘Yo, can I take you out Saturday?’ She was like, ‘Sure.’ It was back in January.”

Gushing about his relationship with Smith, Black also added, “We went out and from that day, January 7th, we’ve been together every day ever since. It’s the best. She’s my best friend. She’s my better half. She really helps me navigate this thing because she’s been in it for a while as far as being a working actress. She’s great. She’s incredible.”

Congrats are certainly in order for the happy couple!
