Vanessa Morgan, famous for her captivating performance in Riverdale, is now engaged to James Karnik, a professional basketball talent from Canada.
The couple announced their engagement on December 21, during a romantic outing at the Langley Glow Light Festival in Canada. Karnik proposed in a beautiful setting filled with festive lights, which Morgan adores. While she expected a Christmas morning proposal, the surprise appeared earlier than anticipated.
Despite dealing with a foot injury, Karnik persevered on crutches, determined to create a memorable experience for Morgan. As they wandered among the illuminated displays, he dropped his crutches, knelt down, and asked for her hand in marriage. The breathtaking engagement ring enhanced the magic of the moment.
The unique engagement ring, known as the “Custom Secret Butterfly Garden Ring,” features a stunning 4.64-carat oval-cut lab-grown diamond. The design includes a twisted rose gold band adorned with eye-catching white and blue marquise-cut diamonds, fashioned to resemble butterflies. Morgan expressed her delight, stating, “When I saw the ring, it was just stunning, and in that magical moment, with the lights all around us, it felt like the best Christmas present ever.”
Karnik conveyed his enthusiasm for their future together, sharing, “I’m excited for this next step in life and couldn’t be happier with the person I’m doing it with.” The couple is set to celebrate the holidays with their two children, including Morgan’s son River, age 3, from her previous marriage.
Morgan took to social media on December 24 to announce their engagement, sharing, “Merry Christmas Eve from me and my fiancée.” She expressed her eagerness to celebrate their first Christmas as a family of four, planning to revive cherished traditions, such as allowing the children to “break through wrapping paper” to reveal the Christmas tree.
