Keith Powers and Ryan Destiny are officially engaged.

The 33-year-old Straight Outta Compton actor and the 30-year-old Star actress announced the news through a joint Instagram post on Sunday (Oct. 5).

“Engaged to the love of my life,” read the post, which included a look at Destiny’s engagement ring.

The couple previously dated from 2017 to 2022 and rekindled their relationship in 2023.

Powers told People at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival about the strength of their relationship, sharing that they “genuinely are best friends” and feel like “family.”

“I think partnership really works when you really do look at your partner [the way you would look at] siblings, in a way,” he said. “We could fight. We might not talk to each other for a minute. But we love each other. We come back. You know what I'm saying?”

He continued, “It's just like we're so locked in and we just get each other's jokes and it's just easy. We just flow honestly,” the Uglies star said. “And she teaches me a lot. I don't know if I teach her stuff, but she teaches me so much. She's made me a better artist, so it's been great.”

In a separate interview with People earlier this year at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Destiny confirmed the two had rekindled their romance.

“I just love him so much, and I just appreciate him every step of the way,” the actress said at the time. “He's such a cheerleader for me, as I am for him. It just means everything. We're just best friends—you know, we're more than best friends.”
