Vanessa Williams announced Friday that she's ready
to get married for the third time to new fiancé Jim Skrip.
Williams shared the news during an appearance on The
Queen Latifah Show recorded Friday and set to air Tuesday. Williams appeared to
promote the Los Angeles engagement of her Broadway play, The Trip to Bountiful,
co-starring Cicely Tyson and Blair Underwood, both of whom accompanied her to
the taping.
"Vanessa, I have been trying to have a conversation
with you ladies and gents, but I am blinded by the light coming from that bling
ring on your finger," Latifah said. "Is there something that we need
to know about around here?"
"Oh, sorry, darling, I got engaged," Williams
shared. "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."
"He's a guy I met a year and a half ago when I was on
vacation with my daughter in Egypt," Williams said. "You go across
the world to find somebody who's six hours away."
She also referred to the Buffalo native as "just a
nice, regular, gorgeous guy," noting at the time that he was her Valentine
this year.
The former Miss America winner has been twice married: first
to PR exec Ramon Hervey II, with whom she has two daughters, Melanie, 27, and
Jillian, 25, and one son, Devin, 21.
Her second marriage was to former NBA player Rick Fox. They
have one daughter together, Sasha, 14. Culled
