Whitney Cummings has announced her engagement to professional skateboarder Chris Cole. The athlete proposed on the couple’s daily hike in Topanga Canyon behind her L.A. house. The ring is reportedly from Twilight actress and friend of Cummings, Nikki Reed’s jewelry line, Bayou. In 2020, the comedian, 43, was engaged to artist Miles Skinner, but she broke things off before marrying. She revealed she “just was not ready to plan a wedding; the whole thing really overwhelmed [her].” The co-creator of 2 Broke Girls revealed her new engagement on her Good For You podcast; she explained that she was so surprised by the proposal she did not know what to do afterward. She asked Cole where they should go to celebrate and he suggested Pizza Hut. “I haven’t spoken to him since.” she joked. “I’m embarrassed to even talk about it, and I’m trying to just get it out of the way,” she told her audience. Cole and Cummings’ relationship has been kept private but fans have seen the couple together on the actress’ podcast a handful of times.
