Former Girlfriends actress Persia White is now engaged to her beau Joseph Morgan.
The future spouses met on set of season 3 of The Vampire Diaries in 2011, where White plays Bonnie’s mother Abby. Morgan, a 32 year old British actor, reprised his role of Klaus Mikaelson on the spin off series, The Originals.
White, 41, is best known for her role in the popular 2000′s series Girlfriends. Rumors of the show’s return and a movie has sparked excitement from the show’s loyal fans.
Morgan, who proposed only days before his 33rd birthday (May 16) and on the heels of The Originals season finale, dished on how he proposed. “I tried to be romantic,” he said on E!’s red carpet event. “It was a nerve wracking moment but it was special.”
“We really appreciate those of you who have supported our wild, creative, passionate and unlikely relationship,” the couple tells Us Weekly in a statement. “We have found a rare and precious thing; true love. We wish you all the same.”
