Love Wins: Ryan Destiny and Keith Powers Announce Their Heartwarming Engagement
In a beautiful testament to second chances, Hollywood sweethearts Ryan Destiny and Keith Powers have officially announced their engagement, proving that true love has perfect timing. The couple shared their joyous news through a heartwarming Instagram post on October 5, complete with an intimate photo series that had fans and celebrities alike swooning.
The pair’s love story reads like a romantic drama script – they first crossed paths in 2015, began their romance in 2018, and despite a brief separation in 2022, found their way back to each other last year. Keith, who had been plotting the perfect proposal throughout 2024, finally got down on one knee in what the couple describes as an “intimate and tender” moment, though he admitted to Essence that he had to navigate several postponements along the way.
Instead of opting for an elaborate, over-styled photoshoot, the newly engaged couple chose to capture their special moment in its most authentic form. Their engagement photos showcase the pair in their natural habitat – sharing takeout meals at home, exchanging loving glances, and embracing through a window frame, perfectly embodying their down-to-earth relationship.
The announcement sent waves of joy through Hollywood, with close friends rushing to share their excitement. Lori Harvey couldn’t contain her enthusiasm, commenting “Omg omg omg!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!” while Chlöe Bailey expressed her love for the couple with a heartfelt “I love you guys sm.”
Overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, both Ryan and Keith took to social media to express their gratitude. Ryan described the experience as “a whirlwind of love all around” and praised the photography team for capturing their special moment so perfectly. Keith echoed these sentiments, emphasizing how much the support meant to them with a genuine “It means everything fr.”
Looking ahead, the couple is approaching their wedding planning with the same thoughtful intention that characterizes their relationship. They shared with Essence their desire to “plan with patience and communication,” even hinting at the possibility of a special performance by one of their favorite artists on their big day.
This engagement marks not just a new chapter for Ryan and Keith, but serves as a reminder that sometimes love needs a little time and space to grow into something even more beautiful.
