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.

All celebrities should always keep their status closed because once it gets out that's it so the best thing is to keep it queit until it happens or way after it happens and say it's official wer'e married with only the immediate family , then throw a big party for your closest friends and that's that the paparazzi gets wind and the flashing begins and no stopping it they can't even go to the bathroom without asking questions day in day out no privacy and your life is over a celebrity I would not want to be if I made it big it will best to go in hibernation forever
