Gospel star Marvin Sapp is getting ready to say “I do.”

The crooner announced his engagement to La’Boris Cole, PhD, with help from his adult children. Masking the event as a birthday party, once Sapp and Cole walked in, their respective family members were there, and he dropped to one knee to propose.

Sapp and Cole were friends for more than a decade before they decided to enter into a romantic partnership. They kept it private until they felt sure they wanted the same things and that the relationship was getting serious.

Sapp has shared his journey, including being a widower and raising his three children after losing his wife and manager, MaLinda Prince Sapp, to Cenomaxx

It seems she has been found. Cole is a therapist and leader in ministry (she is the founder and executive director of the Born 2 Danz Worship Arts Conference and the founder and CEO of Cole Associates & Counselors of Texas, a behavioral health practice). Her mission in all her work is to help individuals find healing, recognize their worth, and proudly pursue their God-given assignment.

Sapp, of course, is a pastor, radio show host, author, and celebrated singer. The Chosen Vessel Church pastor in Fort Worth, Texas, is best known for his hit “Never Would Have Made It,” which would later inspire an eponymous TV One biopic about the artist’s life.

The couple has not announced their wedding date, but they have released a few images from their engagement shoot, photographed by Cenomaxx.

Wishing this couple a joyous journey to the altar and, as desired, the chance to make the rest of their days the best of their days.
