Speculations about Issa's engagement with Diame first came to the spotlight in 2019, after she was seen on the cover of Essence Magazine, wearing a diamond-studded ring.

Even though fans would have loved to hear the news of an engagement, the writer brushed it off during an interview. Speaking on "The View," Rae explained that she usually had many rings on her fingers because she loved jewelry.

However, the engagement news was finally made official by Rae's fellow "Insecure" actors, Jay Ellis, Courtney Tezeno, Yvonne Orji, and Jason Carter, on Entertainment Tonight, during the NAACP Image Awards in 2019.

Rae's brother, Lamine Diop, also spoke candidly about his sister's relationship on US Weekly. He made it known that Rae and Diame had been dating forever and that the latter was like a brother to him.

According to Diop, the lovebirds' engagement took place during the holidays in 2019. However, fans and followers of the fantastic couple remain optimistic that the union would last for a lifetime.
