Sara Bareilles kicked off the new year by announcing that she is engaged to actor Joe Tippett.
The 43-year-old “Love Song” singer took to Instagram early Sunday with the happy news.
“Yes to marrying this man. It’s an easy, earned, relaxed YES,” she captioned a photo of her and Tippett, 40.
“You are exactly who I want. The more I know you the more I know I love you…and you have introduced me to parts of myself I was afraid to love. And now I love ME more because of you. So really this is all about me. Just kidding.
“What a gift you are. Let the games begin. Onward into absolutely everything with you.”
Bareilles and Tippett met in 2015 while working on the stage musical adaptation of Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film Waitress, for which Bareilles wrote the score and in which Tippett played Earl.
In September 2019, Bareilles shared a picture of the pair on Instagram captioned: “3 years. Feels like 3 hundred. Can’t wait for it to be forever.”
Bareilles has racked up nine Grammy nominations (she won Best American Roots Performance for “Saint Honesty” in 2020) and two Tony Awards nominations.
She has released six studio albums since 2004.
