Williams was on the show promoting the Broadway play she is currently starring in, The Trip to Bountiful, when she announced her news. Williams explained how she had greatly enjoyed the past few weeks, touring the US with The Trip Bountiful. But, as she explained, her starring role was not the only good news she had to share.

Williams revealed the news in response to Latifah's enquiry about the large diamond ring on her ring. Latifah said, as People reports, "Vanessa, I have been trying to have a conversation with you ladies and gents, but I am blinded by the light coming from that bling ring on your finger."

51-year-old Williams explained: "I got engaged. I have had a lot of good things happen while I've been on this lovely trip. I turned 50 when we were in rehearsal on Broadway, I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. It has been a lot of blessings on this trip."
