FRANKEL'S HEART-MELTING ANNOUNCEMENT

Frankel's post sharing the news of his engagement with Sidibe was truly heartwarming. Taking to Instagram, the branding and marketing expert shared a video of himself and the "Precious" star along with some snapshots of the day he proposed.

It is funny how she found her knight in shining armor right after she decided to be less accomodating to men!

In the video, Sidibe showed off her beautiful sparkler as Frankel said he put a ring on it before revealing they were engaged. The way he just blurted that out made Sidibe laugh and snort with joy.

The clip was followed by a picture of their cat wearing a tag that read, "will you marry my daddy?" So adorable! Then came a picture of the newly engaged couple posing together as Sidibe held her hand against her face to show off her ring again.

EXCITED FOR THE NEW CHAPTER

The last picture showed how Frankel laid rose petals on the bed along with a set of "Will You Marry Me" rose gold balloons. In the caption, he gushed about how excited he is to be spending the rest of his life with Sidibe. He further wrote:

"I couldn’t imagine a life without you. We make the best team, and we make everything fun and memorable. I liked it, so I put a ? on it."

HOW SIDIBE FEELS ABOUT GETTING ENGAGED

Sidibe shared the same video on her Instagram with the sweetest note. She shared how people already think she and Frankel are married, probably because their feelings and intentions for each other are so pure.

In her words, Frankel is the partner who Sidibe thought she was too independent to need. Fans are glad to see her happy. It is funny how she found her knight in shining armor right after she decided to be less accomodating to men! Congratulations to the adorable couple.
