"Nashville" star Laura Benanti is getting married again!
The 35-year-old actress, who is best known for her role as Sadie Stone on ABC's musical drama, revealed that she was engaged to boyfriend Patrick Brown on her Instagram Friday. Benanti's photo showed off her engagement ring alongside her new fiancé.
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. ~Kahlil Gibran," she captioned the picture.
Brown posted the same picture on his Instagram account, with the caption, "She said yes!!! Happiest and luckiest guy in the world @laurabenanti."
The soon-to-be groom also went on Twitter to announce his engagement, writing, "@LauraBenanti belongs to nobody ... but she's also off the market. Sorry fellas. In love and feeling very blessed today."
The actress opened up to E! News about her surprise proposal.
"Patrick and I recently bought an apartment in NYC and he told me we were going there to meet our contractors to talk about renovations," Benanti said. "We walked around the apartment, talking about flooring and fixtures. Then Patrick turned and said 'the guys actually aren't going to be here.' That's when he dropped to one knee and said the most heartfelt words I have ever had the good fortune to hear."
"I cried like a baby, and he spent five minutes trying to get the ring on my finger because we were both shaking so hard. I am so thrilled to be marrying such a wonderful man," she added.
A source told E! News that Brown asked Benanti's parents and sister for her hand in marriage. Romantic, right?
The actress, who won a Tony award in 2008 for Outstanding Featured Actress for her Broadway performance in "Gypsy," was previously married to musician Chris Barron from 2005-2006 and actor Steven Pasquale from 2007-2013.
