Two OINTB Stars, Laura Prepon And Samira Wiley, Announce Their Engagement
Two stars of the popular Orange Is the New Black series are now engaged.
That '70s Show star Laura Prepon who plays Alex on OITNB made the announcement indirectly when she arrived for the New York premier of the movie The Girl on The Train wearing a large sparkling diamond ring. It was her first red carpet appearance with her fiancé, actor Ben Foster. Prepon appears in the movie along with Emily Blunt which is an adaptation of the best-selling book of the same name.
Prepon and Foster have been dating for around a year now but have kept it low-key. Speculation that they were together came after they were seen at various spots in New York in July but neither went public.
Yesterday's appearance of course seems to have made it official. Sources close to the pair have also confirmed the engagement. Prepon and Foster go way back as Foster is good friends with Prepon's fellow star in That '70s Show Danny Masterson. This would be the first marriage for both of them
Foster has been previously engaged with Robin Wright, but they broke off their engagement twice with the final time being in 2015. Prepon on the other had split from Greek star Scott Michael Foster in 2013 after spending five years as a couple. Prepon is an avowed Scientologist
The other engagement announcement came from Samira Wiley who showed off a gorgeous ring on her Instagram with a simple caption of "Yes". Wiley who plays Poussey Washington on OITNB met her fiancée Lauren Morelli on the show. Morelli is a writer for OITNB. The two dated for over two years before their engagement.
It will be the first marriage for Wiley but second for Morelli who was earlier married to Steve Basilone producer of The Goldbergs. Morelli divorced Basilone in 2014 and came out as gay in the same year.
