TheYBF.com has just learned from the horse’s mouth that “House Of Payne” actor and Top Model/”Young & The Restless” actress Eva Marcille just got engaged! We’re told Lance popped the question Christmas Eve and of course–no date has been set just yet. And who wouldn’t say yes to a man who looks like this? The two have been a couple for an eternity (by Hollywood standards) and they’re one of our faves. I know Eva the Diva loved that Christmas surprise. Congrats to Lance and Eva!

You can read about the engagement and view photos of the happy couple at Essence.com:

Short interview with Eva about her career and why Maria Bell named her character 'Tyra':

This was a headline on IMDb the other day, saying Marcille engaged to Gross and my jaw dropped immediately assuming the Gross was Michael Gross from Family Ties who'd recently been on Y&R. I was like, WOW, you NEVER know what's going on behind the scenes. A quick click, and I was set straight.

Those photos show she is a gorgeous woman. They really should bring on Nate, in the same range as his other SORASED peers, Nicholas and Daniel, and pair him with Tyra in a hot triangle with Cane.

Now she's Eva Marcille? Ever since Top Model, I've been saying she should've dropped PIGFORD!
