Samira Wiley of 'OITNB' is now engaged to show writer Lauren Morelli
Love may have been dead for a hot second there with Brangelina news, but actress Samira Wiley and Orange Is the New Black writer Lauren Morelli are here to save us all with their beautiful romance.
The two announced their engagement on Tuesday afternoon in an Instagram post that was simply captioned, "Yes."
The couple met in 2012 on the set of OITNB. In an essay for Identities.Mic, Morelli explained how she realized she was gay while writing for the show, which led to an eventual divorce and falling in love.

"It wasn't so much one thing, but the sum of many small details: how uncomfortable I felt around groups of lesbians or how I considered myself (shrug) a 'not very sexual person.'"
"When considered alone, these seemed like little quirks that made me me," she wrote, explaining that the moments built up and she found herself answering questions from cast members that revealed answers she didn't expect.
Congratulations to the couple!
