Vanessa Williams is proving life starts at 50 by announcing her engagement to boyfriend Jim Skrip on a recent taping of “The Queen Latifah Show” airing Sept. 30.
“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,” Queen Latifah joked. “Is there something that we need to know around here?”
Responded Williams, “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.”
The former Miss America, currently touring with the revival of A Trip to Bountiful, met her man while on vacation in Egypt over two years ago. “You go across the world to find somebody who’s six hours away,” she said, adding that “he was in real estate and, back in the day, he was an accountant.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
