Kristin Chenoweth announces engagement to Josh Bryant: 'I'm never letting you go'

Kristin Chenoweth is metaphorically singing from the rooftops, happily in love and engaged to guitarist Josh Bryant.

The 53-year-old acclaimed actress and singer confirmed the news:

According to People and Vogue, Bryant proposed atop New York City's Rainbow Room on Wednesday night (Oct. 27) after "the two spent the day doing all of the NYC things they love, including—of course—walking around Broadway." (Chenoweth is a Tony Award-winning Broadway performer.) 

"I've been the runaway bride," Chenoweth told the outlets. "Now that I've found him, I won't let him go. I will race to greet him at the altar."
Bryant added: "My best friend and soulmate said 'YES' to me! Kristin is my world, my everything, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her!"

The couple began dating in August 2018 after initially meeting when Bryant's band, Backroad Anthem, played at the wedding of Chenoweth's niece in 2016.
