Actors Ryan Destiny and Keith Powers have joyfully announced their engagement, sharing the news in a joint Instagram post on October 5. The couple, known for their on-screen work, revealed their happy milestone through a series of intimate and never-before-seen photographs that captured their genuine affection, laughter, and camaraderie. In the images, Ryan proudly displayed her engagement ring while Keith held her close, with their heartfelt caption simply stating, “engaged to the love of my life.”

Their journey to this engagement has been a significant one, marked by a history spanning several years. Ryan and Keith initially crossed paths in 2015 and began their romantic relationship in 2018. However, their path was not without its challenges, as they briefly separated in 2022 before ultimately rekindling their romance in the past year.

Despite these delays, when the moment finally arrived, it was described as “intimate and tender,” leaving the couple feeling as though they are “still floating” with happiness.

The engagement photos themselves perfectly reflected the couple's grounded and warm personalities. Instead of an elaborate, glossy production, the shoot featured candid moments such as the pair eating takeout at home, sharing wide smiles, and embracing through a window. This natural approach emphasized their love in its simplest and most authentic form, resonating deeply with fans and friends alike.

Following their announcement, an outpouring of congratulations flooded their social media. Celebrities and friends expressed their excitement, with Lori Harvey commenting, “Omg omg omg!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!” and Chlöe Bailey adding, “I love you guys sm.” Ryan later took to Instagram to thank everyone for “the beautiful messages and love,” describing the past few days as “a whirlwind of love all around.” She also extended her gratitude to the team responsible for the unique photos, praising them as “Some of the most patient, kind, talented and beautiful humans I know.” Keith echoed her sentiments, stating, “We’re overwhelmed by the love. Thank you for all the encouraging messages and support. It means everything fr.”

Looking ahead to their wedding, the couple intends to approach the planning process with a calm and intentional mindset. They shared with Essence their desire to “plan with patience and communication.” Adding an intriguing detail, they also teased the possibility of one of their favorite artists performing live at their wedding ceremony, hinting at a personalized and memorable celebration for their big day.
