“Love. It’s just chilling, you know? Kicking it with somebody, talking, making mad stupid jokes. And, like, not even wanting to go to sleep, ‘cause then you might be without ‘em for a minute. And you don’t want that." (Photo: Valerie Macon, AFP/Getty Images)
We all fell for Samira Wiley on Orange is the New Black, but the actress only fell back for one person: OITNB writer and producer Lauren Morelli.
Wiley and Morelli broke the news of their engagement on Tuesday, with Wiley taking to Twitter to share a photograph of the couple beaming as the actress flashed an arresting diamond ring. "I’ll do anything with this one," the Handmaid's Tale star wroteThe pair first began dating in 2014 following Morelli’s divorce from her husband, fellow writer-producer Steve Basilone. In an honest op-ed for Mic’s Indentities vertical, Morelli wrote that she realized she was gay in the fall of 2012 during one of her first days on the OITNB set.
"I went through it all on set," Morelli wrote. "I fell in love with a woman, and I watched my life play out on screen… This is my story, which is messy and nuanced and a constantly moving target, but one I'm grateful for."
And honestly, wouldn't we all be lucky to have Poussey Samira?
Congrats, you two!.
