Amber Riley Is Still Together With Fiance Desean Black and in No Hurry to Marry Him
“My family loves him. Obviously, I love him,” Amber Riley on her fiance Desean Black.
It’s been almost one and a half years since Amber Riley, aka RILEY, surprised her fans with her engagement news.
She announced her engagement to boyfriend Desean Black in late November 2020 via an Instagram post. She had posted a picture and video of themselves. In the video, she was seen admiring her fiance from behind.
Afterward, she flaunted her engagement ring. In the caption, she wrote, “There was a time when I thought I didn’t want or deserve this kind of love. I’m looking at a man who changed my mind.”
“My time by myself, loving on myself, getting comfortable with myself, prepared me for you, and prepared me for this. I am so proud to say, I am the future Mrs. Black.”
“I love you @deseanblack_official and I thank you for your patience, your friendship, and your partnership! What God has joined together, let no man separate. #HappilyEngaged #Engaged #BlackLove,” Riley further added.
The actress’s fiance made the same post with an equally sweet caption. He started with, “Fellas, when a woman looks at you like this, it’s a clear indication that you’re doing the right thing.”
“Now, when she delivers unconditional love that you’ve never experienced, it’s another clear indication that you’ve found the one. Only a fool would let someone as special as this slip away.”

In the end, Black added that he did what any wise man would do and put a ring on it. “I love you to pieces @msamberpriley, or should I say the future Mrs. Black. #happilyengaged A king will always protect his queen,” he concluded his caption.
The couple had sparked romance rumors just a month before their engagement. Distractify reports speculations about their togetherness started after Black was spotted at Riley’s performance on The Terrell Show.
The couple made their love official sometime after the speculations started. After their relationship was confirmed, Riley posted a collage of a screenshot of her and Black’s first conversation and a cute picture of the duo via Instagram.
The first step in their conversation was taken by Riley, who had messaged Black by saying, “Hi Desean, how are you.” Black soon responded and wrote, “Hey beautiful. I’m doing great and you???”

Since then, the engaged duo has always been together and shared multiple snaps via their respective Instagram handles. However, fast forward to now, some fans have noticed that all of those pictures have been deleted.
Are Amber Riley and Desean Black still together?
After the fans of the Glee actress noticed that she and her future husband had deleted all of the pictures they had shared of each other on social media, they began to wonder if the couple was still together.
There were also questions like, “Did Amber Riley and boyfriend break up?” To those wondering the same question, the answer is: No, Riley and Black haven’t broken up, and they are still together.
There has been no news of the engaged couple calling off their engagement and walking down separate paths. Besides, she even talked a little about her relationship with her fiance during her exclusive interview with Page Six on January 25, 2022.
Additionally, Black had accompanied his partner to the premiere of Riley’s 2022 movie Single Black Female. Riley shared three pictures from that night on February 6, 2022, and her image with Black was at the end.

It indicates that Riley and Black’s relationship is still going on strong. As for why they deleted their pictures from social media, it remains unknown. Some might say the two are trying to keep their romance private.
Amber Riley and Desean Black’s relationship initiation
It has already been mentioned how Riley and Black’s first conversation started. But how did they get to know each other?
Well, Black actually didn’t know Riley before they started talking. In an interview with xoNecole on November 30, 2020, she mentioned that she first found her future fiance thanks to the same outlet – xoNecole.
She was scrolling through xoNecole, and when she saw Black’s picture, she thought, “Oh my God, he’s such a handsome man.” So, she went on to follow him on Instagram but didn’t think about it until she saw his picture again on her Instagram newsfeed.
She messaged him – the same message mentioned earlier – and the rest became history. Additionally, she had stated that her relationship with Black was “the first relationship that I’ve been in that I feel is really healthy, and I love him to pieces.”
Furthermore, in another interview with Distractify in July 2021, Riley mentioned that she met Black during the pandemic, and she was the one who made the first move.
Amber Riley on her wedding with Desean Black
In an exclusive interview with People in January 2021, Riley opened up about her wedding plans with Black. She said, “Weddings have always been absolutely fun. I’ve gone to some amazing weddings. My mother’s an event planner.”
“I’ve been a flower girl so many times. So for me, the music has to be right. You’ve got to have a bangin’ DJ. And I know so many artists. I want both a DJ and a band. You’re celebrating bringing two lives together, celebrating love, celebrating a union.”
“So the music, and the party, and the food trucks. It has to be hype. It has to be fun!” Riley added.
The American actress also stated that Black’s engagement proposal surprised her and that her fiance is a great man. “My family loves him. Obviously, I love him.”
She again turned her focus toward the wedding plans and said it was weird because they couldn’t plan anything due to the pandemic. But, she also stressed that she would marry Black in a backyard — with a wedding dress, of course.
Riley had also got candid about her wedding plans with her future husband in her above-mentioned interview with Distractify.
She first mentioned that she and her fiance are confident that they have found their “happily ever after” despite dating for a while only. As for a wedding, she said that they are taking their time.
As she went on, she stated that the couple had made plans to get married in 2022; however, the plans changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
She continued, “That’s my best friend in the whole entire world. And during the pandemic, we decided that we’re not going to pressure ourselves to figure this out. We’re going to wait until the pandemic is over, we were going to get married next year.”
In addition, Riley told the outlet that while she prefers a grand wedding, Black is going with the flow. She also said she is taking KeVita’s prebiotic shots to make her feel good, as wedding plans could be hectic.
Furthermore, in her recent interview with Page Six in January 2022, Riley mentioned that she is in no hurry to share the wedding vows with Black. “It’s probably going to be one of those things where we’re engaged for a really long time.”
“We’re in the middle of a pandemic, and it’s just, you know, there’s no rush for me, to be honest,” she further added with a laugh.
It seems like Riley’s fans would have to wait for a while before seeing the actress walk down the aisle. Let’s hope that it happens soon.

Richard Gadd’s Controversial Romance with Actress Auditioning for ‘Baby Reindeer’
All about his former dating life.
Baby Reindeer was a great hit for Richard Gadd, the creator and star of the Netflix series.
The British black comedy drama-thriller was adapted from Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show and hit the streaming service on April 11, 2024. The 7-episode drama, produced by Clerkenwell Films, was an instant hit and grabbed the attention of millions worldwide.
As Baby Reindeer was based on Gadd’s real-life events, viewers were instantly accustomed to digging deeper into the happenings of the series, mainly relationships. As if that wasn’t enough, his professional conduct was also questioned.
Days after Baby Reindeer hit Netflix, on April 16, 2024, a transgender actress named Reece Lyons came forward on X, claiming she and Gadd dated for a brief period and that she also auditioned for the role of Gadd’s ex-girlfriend, Teresa “Teri,” in the Netflix series.
Lyons never specifically mentioned Gadd or Baby Reindeer in her X thread but an investigation by Deadline confirmed that she was indeed talking about the Netflix show and its creator.
In her X thread, Lyons mentioned that she didn’t believe she was a victim of abuse but acknowledged that Gadd hurt her even if there was no conscious intent to do so. Additionally, she was hurt by Gadd “conflating a work opportunity with a dating dynamic.”
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons first met each other in October 2021. Both of them were in the bar of London’s Bush Theatre after Lyons had performed the one-woman show Overflow.
“I had met him in the bar after one of my shows. He was with a friend; they both approached me after my performance to congratulate me, and that’s when he offered to buy me a drink,” Lyons recalled her first encounter with Gadd on her X thread.
She then stated that she initially thought of declining the offer as she didn’t know Gadd but before she could decline the offer, she recognized him. She claimed that Gadd had followed her on Instagram a month earlier.
It was at that moment she realized that this wasn’t a normal chance encounter. She decided to accept his offer for a drink, after which they began their conversation. “We split off from his friend, and he began to tell me about his upcoming Netflix show that he had written,” she wrote.
Lyons continued her X thread by writing that Gadd had offered her the role of his ex-girlfriend, a trans woman. As per Lyons, Gadd mentioned that he allegedly didn’t treat his now-former girlfriend the best.
When Gadd offered the role, Lyons claimed she was interested in auditioning for the role and told him to contact her agent. Right after that, Gadd allegedly expressed his romantic feelings for Lyons.
Weeks after their first meet, Gadd contacted Lyons and asked her out on a date. She agreed even though she was mindful of the overlap between the romantic invitation and the upcoming audition. During their date, their conversations didn’t turn out well.

After a week, Lyons texted him and ended things prematurely. She told him that she didn’t think the conflation of the upcoming audition for Baby Reindeer and dating each other at the same time was very wise, and Gadd replied that he understood what she meant.
However, things didn’t end then and there between the two, as Lyons claimed that Gadd spontaneously called her two weeks later and expressed his desire to try dating again. When he said that, she felt conflicted as she had previously set clear boundaries and he appeared to understand them.
“‘What if I say, no?’ I asked myself. ‘Does that mean he would feel slighted, and I wouldn’t get the chance to audition?’ I decided to say yes and quickly found myself pulled back into his emotional chaos again,” Lyons wrote on her X thread.
As per Deadline, Gadd and Lyons had gone on four dates between October and November 2021, before the former decided to end things permanently in December of the same year. As per sources close to Gadd, some conversations about a Baby Reindeer audition might have taken place while the two were dating.
In March 2022, three months after Gadd and Lyons broke up, the latter auditioned for the role of Teresa “Teri” and submitted her self-tape to Nina Gold Casting. However, she wasn’t offered the role and it ultimately went to Mexican actress Nava Mau.
Deadline reported in May 2024 that Gadd had no control over the casting process on Baby Reindeer but provided some feedback on audition tapes to Clerkenwell Films. Likewise, Gadd and Lyons seemingly had a final conversation after the actress for the role of Teresa “Teri” was finalized.
As per Lyons’ X thread, Gadd reportedly consoled her over the phone and mentioned that her audition was exceptional. “But it’s out of my hands. Netflix is looking for somebody who’s already a star,” Gadd reportedly told Lyons.
Sources close to Gadd stated that Lyons was the one who asked him for feedback on her audition on the day of rejection. She then asked him, “But what about us?” to which he replied, “It’s not going to work. You’re too confrontational for me.” “And that was it,” she concluded.
After Lyons went public with her relationship with Gadd, Baby Reindeer’s producer Clerkenwell Films launched an investigation into Lyons’ comments. This investigation revealed that Gadd had not disclosed his romantic liaison with Lyons to Clerkenwell Films.
During the investigation process, Lyons was neither interviewed on the phone nor in person, as Clerkenwell Films believed that her X thread, along with other evidence, was enough. Clerkenwell Films ultimately concluded that Gadd behaved professionally and casting decisions were not compromised.

Logan Lerman is officially engaged since November 2023.
Love was in the air for Logan Lerman as the talented actor took a significant step in his personal life. After years of a blissful relationship, he finally popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, Analuisa Corrigan, in November 2023.
The Percy Jackson star sealed the deal with a heartwarming proposal, officially taking their romance to the next level. Fans and well-wishers alike eagerly await the details of this romantic milestone as the couple prepares to embark on marital bliss.
In this article, we delve into the captivating tale of Lerman’s proposal, their relationship, and the woman who has captured his heart.
Logan Lerman opened up about his proposal to Analusia Corrigan
Lerman recently opened up about the charming way he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Corrigan.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 32-year-old actor shared the delightful details of how he popped the question in an unconventional yet romantic setting – a rowboat in New York City’s iconic Central Park.
He revealed that while in New York, he initially had no concrete plan for the proposal but soon realized he needed a private and intimate setting.
Corrigan, 29, pointed out the rowboats; he thought it would be a perfect idea but discovered that he lacked the necessary rowing skills.
He described how his fiancée ended up doing all the hard work, rowing the boat. At the same time, he sat back and enjoyed the scenery.
As they drew the attention of onlookers amused by the sight of Corrigan manning the oars, he bided his time until they reached a secluded part of the lake.
In that tranquil moment, surrounded by the beauty of Central Park, Lerman seized the opportunity and popped the question to his beloved.
Despite the initial challenges, the proposal went smoothly. Lerman’s heartwarming tale beautifully captures the essence of love, spontaneity, and the willingness to embrace unexpected moments that make memories truly special.

After the heartwarming proposal in Central Park, Lerman and his fiancée, Corrigan, made a stunning red carpet appearance, celebrating their love and future together.
On March 21, the couple graced the premiere of Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones in Los Angeles, radiating joy and complementing each other perfectly with their coordinated looks.
Lerman, known for his role in Bullet Train, cut a dashing figure in a sleek black overcoat and dress pants, adding a touch of sophistication with a silver silk shirt. Meanwhile, Corrigan, stunned in a chic black bandeau dress, exuding elegance and confidence.
Their red carpet debut as an engaged couple came four months after Corrigan took to Instagram to share the exciting news of Lerman’s proposal.
In a heartfelt post, she playfully referred to her future husband as “Mrs. Logie,” accompanied by a series of endearing snapshots, including a photo booth strip capturing their loving embrace and a close-up video showcasing the exquisite engagement ring.
Lerman, clearly smitten, responded with a sweet comment, expressing his love for his “sweetie.”
Who is Analusia Corrigan?
Lerman’s fiancée, Corrigan, is a talented artist whose journey has been shaped by her diverse cultural experiences and the unwavering support of her family.
Growing up in San Diego, her frequent road trips to Mexico with her mother instilled in her a deep appreciation for culture, which she later incorporated into her art.
It was her father’s work with the renowned Alvin Ailey dance company in New York City that ignited a new creative spark within her. She viewed the crew as a “window to real people in real life,” an experience she didn’t have on the West Coast.
Her parents played a pivotal role in nurturing her artistic aspirations, always ensuring that she understood the value of the arts and that being an artist was a viable career path.

Her artistic pursuits led her to enroll at the Parsons School of Design, where she initially studied oil painting but later pivoted to graphic design, realizing the challenges of succeeding in the former field.
However, after graduation, Corrigan discovered that her true passion lay not in technology but in creating tangible works with her hands.
It was during the COVID-19 pandemic that Corrigan found her calling in ceramic art, initially selling ashtrays and mugs with unique designs. Her work explores “figurative shapes and their innate matter, language and sensation,” as described on her website.
From lamps and mirrors to wall hangings, Corrigan’s creations are a testament to her talent and dedication.
Now displaying her art at shows and during New York City’s design week, Corrigan has garnered a steady stream of clients. She remains grateful for the opportunity to have her creations grace the intimate spaces of people’s homes.
Logan Lerman’s relationship timeline with Analusia Corrigan
Lerman and Corrigan’s relationship timeline is a heartwarming tale of love that blossomed from a long-distance connection into a deep, lasting bond.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2020 when they were linked together. However, they kept their relationship relatively private in its early stages.
It wasn’t until August 2022 that Lerman and Corrigan made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Bullet Train, marking a significant milestone in their journey together.
Despite the initial distance, with Corrigan residing in New York City and Lerman in Los Angeles, they found a way to make their relationship thrive.
She has provided glimpses into their life together through her Instagram account, which is primarily dedicated to showcasing her exceptional work as a ceramic artist.
However, she occasionally shares endearing snaps of Lerman, who sometimes lends a helping hand in her studio, highlighting the supportive and collaborative nature of their partnership.
Lerman, too, has been unafraid to express his adoration for Corrigan publicly. In December 2021, he penned a heartfelt tribute on her 27th birthday, referring to her as his “best friend” and expressing his gratitude for having her in his life, making every day “better and brighter.”

Over the past three years, Lerman and Corrigan have embraced adventures together, exploring the world hand in hand.
From hiking in the Pacific Northwest to immersing themselves in the beauty of Italy, their love has flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes and new experiences.
As their relationship deepened, they reached significant milestones, such as attending Lerman’s co-star Joey King’s wedding in Mallorca together in 2023.
