Yvette Nicole Brownis engaged!

TheCommunitystar, 52, shared the exciting news live onThe Viewon Tuesday while guest co-hosting the ABC talk show. “I have some news, and I heard thatThe Viewis the place to announce things like this. I’m engaged,” Brown said, before holding up her hand to show off her engagement ring as the audience cheered and clapped.

“And he’s here! He’s here! That’s Tony,” she continued, pointing to her fiancé, actor Anthony Davis, who was seated in audience.

“You are one lucky man,” co-hostSunny Hostintold him, before asking Brown how she and Davis met.

Davis reached out in 2021 afterBrown’s mother died. “Then he found me,” she continued, quickly clarifying, “after he divorced.”

The Emmy-nominated actress said she believes her late mom had a hand in the couple’s reunion. “I feel like my mom and his mom kind of did it,” she explained. “He’s just wonderful … he’s a nice man, you guys. He’s a nice, kind, loving man.”

Davis had equally touching words for his new fiancée. “She’s just the most beautiful person in the world,” he said.

Brown’s co-hosts of course wanted all the details on how Davis' proposal unfolded. TheAvengers: Endgamestar explained that she was visiting her hometown in Ohio, where her alma mater, Warrensville Heights High School, had recently named its auditorium after her.

“We were celebrating that, and then [Davis] gave me a [lottery scratch card] and the scratcher said, ‘Will you marry me?’ " she recounted, joking, “I thought I was going to win some money and I won a man!”
