SNL's Aidy Bryant Reveals She's Engaged

Congratulations to Aidy Bryant!

The SNL actress revealed that she's engaged to longtime boyfriend Conner O'Malley, who used to work as a writer for Late Night With Seth Meyers. Fittingly, Bryant announced the news on Late Night on April 27, 2017, describing the adorable proposal in detail.

"So, one night I came home from 'pitch' at SNL. You ever heard of it?" she joked with host and SNL alum Seth Meyers. "So, I pitched to Lin-Manuel Miranda and then when I got home I had my purse and our mail and all these boxes, and I walked to our door and our dog had a bowtie on. I was like, 'My dog doesn't wear a bowtie! Where is he going tonight?'"

"Basically, the second I shut the door, a man—who I discovered was Conner—frantically came around the corner and was just like, 'Willyoumarryme?!' No box. No 'I love you.' No fance. Just a man in full terror standing very far from a dog in a bowtie, just holding a loose ring going, 'Willyoumarryme?!'" Bryant, who's been dating O'Malley for over nine years, explained. "I was like, 'What?!' I truly couldn't comprehend what was happening, and I kept saying, 'Is this a joke? Are you doing a joke?' And then I said, 'Of course I'll marry you. I love you.' And it was really nice."

However, Bryant was, admittedly, a little confused as to why O'Malley chose to propose the way he did. But O'Malley had a good reason for his fast-paced proposal. "He was like, 'Well, you always said that you wanted it to happen in our house if it ever happened.' I was like, 'That's true; I wanted it to be private,'" Bryant told Meyers, adding, "He was like, 'But I also knew you probably wanted to be wearing a bra and have makeup on, so I knew I had to do it after you just got home from work—otherwise it would never be another moment.'"

Bryant, laughing, explains, "It's about a 40-second window before I get in the door and I rip off my mask and become a woman on the couch—so he did the right thing!"

As People notes, the 29-year-old first sparked rumors of an engagement in Jan. 2017 after she was seen wearing a ring during a dress fitting photographed by Glamour. But Bryant did not publicly comment on her relationship status until her appearance on Late Night this week.

Congratulations again to Bryant and O'Malley!
