Eva And Lance Discuss Their Engagement With Essence...

Hollywood's newly engaged couple Eva Pigford and Lance Gross talk to Essence magazine about the details of their fresh engagement. The couple was vacationing with their families during the Christmas holidays when Lance popped the question on Christmas Eve.

“I was in a complete state of shock!” the 24-year-old Los Angeles native tells ESSENCE. “I cried. It was totally unexpected. I’m still in shock. I could not even sleep because I was afraid that I might wake up from the most beautiful dream ever.”
“Eva’s mouth went from closed to on the floor!” jokes Gross, 27, a Howard University alum. “She asked, ‘Baby, is this real? Baby, are you playing with me?’ Then she said, ‘Forever and always: Yes, Yes, Yes!’ And jumped up and hugged me, crying, and then she did her happy dance!”

Good luck and best wishes on their upcoming nuptials!
