Saturday Night Live veteran Cecily Strong is engaged! The comic actress reveals ... trends now
Cecily Strong has revealed that she got engaged late last year.
During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday, the 40-year-old former Saturday Night Live star shared her happy news and detailed the hilarious way her fiancé nearly ruined the proposal.
Although the Schmigadoon actress seemed excited to share her engagement story, she has kept her fiancé's identity secret and has only referred to him as 'Jack' in the past.
'I got engaged,' she shared with her former colleague Seth, though she made sure to rib him in the process.
'I know, you always said, "No one will ever love you, and you will never get married." You were wrong!' she joked.

Her fiancé, whom she has only ever identified as Jack, had his surprise spoiled after Cecily saw a text message from a friend asking if she liked the ring he was going to give her
'I am eating my words,' Seth said as he played along. 'Did he pull it off well? Was it a surprise?'
Unfortunately, her fiancé Jack's plans didn't go off as he intended, partially because Cecily was too much of a 'detective.'
She admitted that the two had had discussions about getting engaged in the past, so she was already keeping an eye out for any hints of a proposal.
'One day he was like, "I'm so inundated with emails and texts, look at this,"' she explained. 'And he showed me his phone, and the first text was from a friend that said, "How did it go?! Ring emoji." And then, I was like. "Oh no, should I?"
'And he went, "Did you see that?" And I was like, "I could try very hard to lie, but…"' she added.
But Cecily wanted to still leave Jack with an option to surprise her.
'I was like, "Whenever you want to do it, that’ll be the surprise,"' she recalled saying.
But Cecily admitted that she 'still then took that from him' when she wasn't willing to wait any longer.
