The heartwarming message said, “My personal highlight was walking the red carpet with my new fiancée Josie Hart. The most amazing, brilliant, beautiful, hilarious, thought provoking & insightful person I know who continuously lives life out-loud.” 

The Instagram photo was of the couple on the 50th International Emmy Awards red carpet.

“The future is crazy-bright Girl! None of us ever know where God will guide our paths. She’s had my back since before I even became an actor. When a 41-year friendship slaps you in the back of the head & blossoms into romance, you stand up, pay attention & step forward in gratitude. Gently forward. It begins,” the post ended.

It’s unclear when the two started dating. The award-winning actor was previously married to Desiree DaCosta from 1994 to September 2021, they share three children together.

Because it is unclear, fans have been reacting to the news to find out Underwood is off the market again.

I hate this narrative surrounding Blair Underwood's fiance. The idea that she was biding her time, just to swoop in like she didn't have shit else going on in life…we don't know her. Reducing a decades-long friendship to her being a side-piece is disrespectful.

I think folks are assuming Blair Underwood’s new woman has been dating him for 41 years lol. No. He just got divorced last year and is now engaged to his “friend” of 41 years.
