Naturi Naughton is thanking her “Power” co-star and TV husband, Omari Hardwick, for introducing her to her fiancé. 

The actress announced her engagement in an exclusive interview with Essence magazine. 

“I never imagined that one random night in NY would change my life so much,” Naturi said in her ESSENCE interview. “I had no idea I was about to meet the best teammate ever. Omari Hardwick and I were recording a song together and Omari was like, ‘oh you gotta meet my people.’ On that night, I met this kind, handsome, southern gentleman who would love me like I’ve never been loved. From that point on, we talked every day, quietly dated and fell in love. Thank you, TV hubby, for introducing me to my future hubby!”

Naughton also revealed that after she split with her daughter’s father, she felt she would never find love again.

“Three years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful Black princess and then suddenly I became a single mother overnight, all while shooting a hit show,” she recalled. “To be honest, I wasn’t sure if my heart could mend from the pain of past relationships, but won’t He do it? Today I am overcome with gratitude. I feel so blessed that God sent me a man who values me, my daughter, my family, and has his own close relationship with God.”

Naughton has yet to reveal the name of her “Prince Charming” but we couldn’t be more happy for her. Congratulations!
