PHOTOS: The Week's Best Style Moments
A wedding is on the horizon for Sherri Shepherd in the New Year.
The funnywoman and television personality got engaged to television writer Lamar Sally over the holidays, on Dec. 26.
"Thank you for the well wishes. [I] kept it a secret so long because I wanted my relation to be strong before I went public," Shepherd wrote to fans on her Twitter page.
According to 'The View' spokesperson, Shepherd's hubby-to-be proposed at his Los Angeles home after the couple's recent trip to San Diego (and after seeking permission from Shepherd's 5-year-old son, Jeffrey).
"Sherri was surprised to find their accommodations had been decorated with lights by one of Sal's best friends, her dog was wearing a Santa beard and hat, and, in the middle of a dish of Sherri's favorite but forbidden M&M's (she is diabetic), was a tiny little box," her rep told People.com.
Shepherd plans to share the good news with fans when 'The View' returns live on Jan. 10. An August wedding is being planned in Shepherd's hometown of Chicago.
The couple has been dating seriously for more than a year since being introduced by Jay Tucker, the fiancé of Shepherd's close friend and 'Dancing With the Stars' contestant Niecy Nash.
This marks 'The Newlywed Game' host and Emmy Award winner's second marriage. She was previously married to comedian Jeff Tarpley. The couple separated in 2006 and divorced in 2009.

she's a fat, inarticulate turnip who has gotten lucky in her life. she is talentless and hopefully jobless in the very near future. she is awful to look at; perhaps a diet and a diction coach are in order for the new year. if this is the best we can do on t.v., then we should all start reading more.

He doesn't have to worry about becoming a father. She had according to her, five abortions, so he doesn't have to fear an unwanted child.

Good for her,however, since she talked so much about her first spouse, give this one room and don't share so much information. Love is private Sherrie we don't need all of your business. Remember "everybody's business is no body's business". Keep it to yourself and your man....Great news....

She did keep this one quiet. With the way she acts when men are on the set I didn't even know she had a man. Men and wanting to be in a relationship is something she talks about all the time (besides very annoyingly her breasts & Jeffrey). She acted like she really wanted that wrestler dude and yet she had Sally on the sly all the while.
This is off topic: I saw a comment where someone said she looks & is made up just like the Tazmanian Devil, and you know what I can really see it.

Life is short....and if we can find a small amount of happiness, then go for it. I wish her much success.
