Wedding bells are ringing for Ballers actor and actress Dulé Hill and Jazmyn Simon because he put a ring on it! Sharing the news on Instagram in April, Simon shared a series of photos from the surprise engagement which involved a hot air balloon, lots of champagne and a whole lot of love on Good Friday. Hill had a plan for Simon that was slightly derailed because of weather but his proposal went off without a hitch-even though she did think that she was for some reason going to meet John Legend! Instead she got a promise of being with the one she loves forever so we would definitely call that a win-win!
