Jaime King engaged to Austin Sosa
The White Chicks actor was spotted with a new diamond on her ring finger as she ran errands in West Hollywood, California.
King has largely kept her romance under wraps, and her new fiancé is private on social media.
Sosa is an investment banker who graduated from Brigham Young University in Utah, according to his LinkedIn profile.
One of King's few posts that mentions Sosa includes a photo of her and her sons, Leo, nine, and James, 11.
"My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever," she wrote.
A source told People magazine: "She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year."
King shares her two boys with her ex-husband Kyle Newman.
The former couple tied the knot in 2007, but the Hart of Dixie alum filed for divorce from Newman in May 2020 after 13 years of marriage.
Their divorce was finalised in September 2023.
In March this year, Newman was granted sole physical custody of their sons.

This gay Olympic figure skater just proposed to his boyfriend and 'he said yes'
We could all use an injection of joy right now, and lucky for us, love is in the air! Out gay Olympic figure skater Paul Poirier just proposed to his boyfriend and shared the happy news with the rest of the world with a cute Instagram post of the two men showing off their new engagement rings. 'We did a thing (he said yes),' Poirier wrote on social media, announcing his engagement to boyfriend Kevin. Poirier's figure skating partner, Piper Gilles, was one of the first to congratulate the lovebirds, commenting, 'So happy for you two!! You've deserved all the love.' The 33-year-old world champion shared the news with those closest to him before making the announcement public. The couple has yet to announce a wedding date. 'It was a very casual proposal at home during our evening routine,' Poirier told Outsports. 'It was really nice to share that quiet moment together, and then to share the news with our families and closest friends. We're both very excited!' It takes a lot of guts to come out as an athlete. Luckily, more and more LGBTQ+ Olympic athletes are taking the plunge. In fact, four Olympic athletes kissed their partners in front of the world during the last Olympics, six lesbian couples who competed at the Paris Olympics, and gold medalist Jade Carey hard launched her new girlfriend just this past March. Poirier may be a fairly private person and a bit of an introvert, but he came out publicly back in 2021, a year ahead of going to the Beijing Winter Olympics. '[Being a gay athlete] hasn't been something that I've really talked about very much, especially in a public setting,' Poirier said at the time. 'I've had this attitude that my private life is my private life and my life outside of skating is my life outside of skating. I haven't necessarily allowed all of those things to [blend] together. I think with the lead-up to the Olympic Games in the next year, I definitely see opportunities to share what we do and who we are to a much wider audience, and that opportunity is not lost on me.' Poirier and Gilles are currently working to land a spot at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

The Naked Gun review: a film firing laughs on all cylinders
The Naked Gun Score Details 'The Naked Gun is a machine gun unloading barrels of laughs every second thanks to impeccable writing and comedic performances.' Pros Great comedic performances from Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson Clever, laugh-out-loud moments It follows the Naked Gun formula 'Why you can trust Digital Trends – We have a 20-year history of testing, reviewing, and rating products, services and apps to help you make a sound buying decision. Find out more about how we test and score products.' Justice has found a funny new face in Liam Neeson's comedy film, The Naked Gun. Directed by the Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer and produced by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, this reboot puts Neeson in the role of Frank Drebin Jr., a Police Squad lieutenant and the son of Leslie Nielsen's iconic character from the original Naked Gun movies. Recommended Videos The Naked Gun has some huge shoes to fill after the revolutionary first film from Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker. Even with two prestigious comedy names behind the film, this Naked Gun reboot could've been a hit or miss. Fortunately, Schaffer and MacFarlane's film honors the franchise's significant legacy while confidently establishing its own identity through its hilarious humor and strong performances. A familiar but unique story Just as the film brought the Naked Gun franchise back from the dead, this meta-comedy reboot sees Frank Drebin Jr. try to solve a murder that threatens to put an end to Police Squad once and for all. Frank uncovers the world-ending plot orchestrated by tech mogul billionaire Richard Cane (Danny Huston), who frames him for a murder. To catch up with the times, this reboot modernizes the Naked Gun narrative with references to self-driving electric cars, online pop-up ads, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sex and the City. However, the movie still features several familiar quirks and characters of the Naked Gun franchise that should satisfy long-time fans. These include the hard-boiled detective doing comedic voice-overs, the attractive and ditzy femme fatale, and the evil, wealthy genius trying to turn innocent people into murderers. While the movie features several franchise tropes, The Naked Gun doesn't try to be a carbon copy of the original. In fact, this reboot instantly shows its self-awareness as Frank expresses his desire to be like his dad but different. The villain's goal for recreating the human race can even be interpreted as a metaphor for wanting to go back to the good old days with men like Frank and his father at the forefront. Comedy's next big stars are here Frank Drebin Jr. truly is his father's son. Neeson has already shown potential as a comedic actor many times with his appearances in Family Guy, Ted 2, and A Million Ways to Die in the West. However, The Naked Gun proved that he was the only one worthy of inheriting the name of Frank Drebin from Leslie Nielsen. As Drebin Jr., Neeson brings out plenty of laughs with his buffoonish antics, deadpan joke delivery, and impeccable comedic timing. Neeson's performance is on par with Nielsen's work. Neeson adds a unique layer to his character by satirizing his own angry action hero persona with ultraviolent fight scenes and a revenge-fueled monologue. It's a breath of fresh air for his acting career that may even pave the way for more comedic roles. At the same time, Pamela Anderson invokes the spirit of her predecessor, Priscilla Presley, with her new character, Beth Davenport. Her chemistry with Neeson is electric, and her straight-faced delivery makes her an equally hilarious presence, especially with her ridiculous jazz performance. An onslaught of creative comedy Like the original film, The Naked Gun is a machine gun firing barrels of laughs every second. Given how MacFarlane has paid brilliant homage to The Naked Gun franchise numerous times on Family Guy, it's no surprise that he was able to get its brand of humor right for the new film. As a modern reboot, The Naked Gun adds some social commentary with its jokes about Police Squad's problematic actions — Frank not wanting to use body cams and him having shot at very few white criminals. However, the film never gets heavy-handed with pushing a progressive narrative. Its clear priority is to be as silly and hilarious as possible, and it succeeds. 2025's The Naked Gun features all the wacky ridiculousness that one can expect from the franchise. One can see Schaffer drawing from his experiences with the Lonely Island with these cartoonish, over-the-top moments. Most notably, Schaffer's film shows Frank disguising himself as a little schoolgirl to take down a gang of bank robbers and him and Beth having a threesome with a Satanic snowman. Also, in MacFarlane's own fashion, The Naked Gun takes everyday chats and foibles and turns them into comedy gold, from Frank declaring his love for the Black Eyed Peas to him mourning the loss of his Buffy episodes on TiVo. There are even some traces of Austin Powers in the film's comedic DNA, specifically with that supposedly sexual thermal vision scene. The movie even executes a hysterical parody of another classic spy movie, Mission: Impossible — Fallout, with its layered, fake hospital scene. Is The Naked Gun worth a watch? To be frank, yes. This Naked Gun movie may not be as good as the original, but it is still pretty damn good. The movie revives Naked Gun's distinctive brand of humor with its blend of clever wordplay and slapstick gags, bringing plenty of wit and wackiness to the story. While there are several different comedic styles at play, The Naked Gun blends them together to create an outrageous comedy extravaganza. Not only does this movie revive the Naked Gun franchise, but it also reignites hope for parody films and shows as a whole. Spoofs like The Naked Gun prove the genre can still succeed today and deliver great laughs when done right. And with it joining the ranks of History of the World: Part II and the upcoming Spaceballs sequel, The Naked Gun seems part of a much-welcome parody genre revival. The Naked Gun is now playing in theaters.
