The couple appeared to be looking for the perfect ring for the past three months. The ring was unveiled to several of Lake's friends over FaceTime in multiple screenshots posted on her Instagram Story.
From 1994 to 2004, Lake was married to the illustrator Rob Sussman, with whom she shared two children. She then married jewelry designer Christian Evans in 2012 and split up with him three years later.
