PEOPLE can exclusively confirm that the actress, 46, is engaged to investor Austin Sosa.
A source tells PEOPLE: 'She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year.'
On Monday, July 7, the White Chicks actress was spotted with a new diamond ring on her left ring finger as she was leaving Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood, Calif. The model was wearing a white knit sweater, wide-leg denim pants, brown and white leather loafers and a pair of oversized brown sunglasses.
King has sparingly posted about her now-fiancé. Sosa, who is private on social media, is an investment banker who graduated from Brigham Young University, according to his LinkedIn profile.
One of the actress' few posts that mentions Sosa includes a photo of her and her sons, Leo, 9, and James, 11, and then mentions Sosa in the caption.
'My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever 🎀💅🏻💯💗,' she wrote.
King shares her two boys with her ex-husband Kyle Newman. The former couple tied the knot in 2007. The Hart of Dixie alum filed for divorce from Newman, 47, in May 2020 after 13 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2023.
In March 2025, Newman was granted sole physical custody of their sons. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, a judge ordered that while Newman and King will share legal custody of their sons, Newman was granted tie-breaking authority over legal custody and will have sole physical custody of their kids.

Additionally, in April 2024, King filed an emergency request to change their spousal and child support agreement, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. King alleged that she 'lacks the ability to pay the support' and asked for the court to end the spousal support agreement the couple filed in April 2022.
In response to King's filing, Newman responded and filed his own claim, alleging that the actress had 'been out of compliance with the court's child and spousal support orders for well over a year.'
Newman also alleged that King refused to 'sign a judgment' based on their divorce settlement and noted that she cannot 'rescind' a court order as she claimed to have done.
