The hitmaker announced her engagement to Mare of Easttown actor Joe Tippett, 40, on Jan. 1, via Instagram. “Yes to marrying this man. It’s an easy, earned, relaxed YES,” her romantic caption began. “@joetipps you are exactly who I want. The more I know you the more I know I love you…and you have introduced me to parts of myself I was afraid to love.”
The snapshot featured Sara and her fiancé gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes, as they celebrated the New Year and their engagement. Notably, her engagement ring is a gold band with a leaf. She continued, “And now I love ME more because of you. So really this is all about me. Just kidding. What a gift you are. Let the games begin. Onward into absolutely everything with you.” Many of the 43-year-old’s celeb pals, including This Is Us star Mandy Moore, took to the comments section to congratulate the happy couple. “Congrats!!!”, Mandy wrote along with a series of red heart emojis.
Even Broadway actress Stephanie J. Block made sure to wish Sara and Joe well. “How wonderful!! Blessings to both of you!!”, she penned on the post. Others who chimed in included The Good Place star D’Arcy Carden, who chimed in with a series of red heart emojis.
