Laura Benanti is off the market. The 35-year-old actress who plays Sadie Stone on ABC's country drama series "Nashville" has just been engaged to boyfriend Patrick Brown. She flaunts her engagement ring and shows a big smile with her new fiance in an Instagram picture.
"And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. ~Kahlil Gibran," she captioned the photo, to which her beau replied, "She said yes!!! Happiest and luckiest guy in the world @laurabenanti." He additionally wrote, "@LauraBenanti belongs to nobody...but she's also off the market. Sorry fellas. In love and feeling very blessed today."
"Patrick and I recently bought an apartment in NYC and he told me we were going there to meet our contractors to talk about renovations," Benanti tells E! News of the surprise proposal. "We walked around the apartment, talking about flooring and fixtures. Then Patrick turned and said 'the guys actually aren't going to be here.' "
"That's when he dropped to one knee and said the most heartfelt words I have ever had the good fortune to hear. I cried like a baby, and he spent five minutes trying to get the ring on my finger because we were both shaking so hard," she adds. "I am so thrilled to be marrying such a wonderful man."
Brown reportedly not only asked Benanti's parents for their daughter's hand in marriage but he also asked for her sister's permission. The actress was previously married to Spin Doctors' lead singer Chris Barron and then to actor Steven Pasquale.
