Back in March 2019 at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, Rae's Insecure costars Jay Ellis and Yvonne Orji confirmed that Rae was engaged while they walked the red carpet.

"We're very excited for her," Orji told Entertainment Tonight at the time, with Ellis adding, "We all found out in different ways because we're all on different text chains. We talk at different times, so we all found out at different times in different ways."

Orji said she couldn't be more excited for her on-screen BFF: "The reaction was all the same, like, 'You out here in these streets getting married, boo!?' That was the reaction."

Rumors of her engagement first began to swirl after she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on the cover of Essence magazine's April 2019 issue. Rae and Diame have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, though the businessman has accompanied the actress on several red carpets over the years.

The Emmy-nominated actress has said she prefers to keep her personal life private. "I get so much feedback about everything," she told Marie Claire in 2018. "The one thing I don't need feedback on is who I'm sleeping with."

She echoed that sentiment to Vogue that same year, saying, "I don't want any input. As a writer, you put everything on the table. I'll take input on kids if I'm going to have kids. How do I not kill the kids? Work? Give me the input. Any other aspect of my life? Give me the input. But who I'm f------? No, I don't need input. I'm good."
