Jemele Hill is engaged

Jemele Hill is getting married.

The former ESPN host, 43, took to Instagram Thursday to announce she’s engaged.

“I’ve called this my year of transition,” she wrote of the sweet image of her boyfriend, Ian Wallace, proposing. “I left a job, started a new job, moved to a new city and now … I’m engaged to the love of my life. I’m overjoyed and immensely blessed.”

The second photo in her post also showed off her engagement ring.

Hill, who writes for the Atlantic and is a co-founder of Lodge Freeway Media, also wrote on Twitter, “So, uh, some personal news to share … I’m engaged.”

According to her Instagram story, she and Wallace, who goes by H. Wood on social media, went on a helicopter ride above Los Angeles the same day he proposed.

In August, the outspoken sports commentator left ESPN in an “amicable departure” in long-stirring controversy after she called President Donald Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter in September of 2017.
