Kevin Connolly engaged
The Entourage actor has been dating Zulay Henao for seven years and on Friday (04.07.25), he popped the question in his hometown of Long Island, New York, in front of family members including their four-year-old daughter Kennedy.
Zulay, 46, told People magazine: "It was intimate, personal and so full of love. Having Kennedy there made it unforgettable."
Kevin got down on one knee to propose with a "timeless" and "elegant" diamond ring custom-designed by KC Sukamto. The jewellers created a "classic and modern" piece of jewellery featuring an emerald-cut solitaire with a hidden halo set in two-tone design with a gold band.
The happy couple then celebrated with fireworks and an intimate dinner with their close family.
Last month, the Modern Muze founder shared a touching tribute to Kevin on Father's Day.
Sharing a selection of family photos, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy Father's Day Papi! We love you babe, thank you for being our home! You are Daddying beautifully, just look at the smiles in these pictures… muah baby."
Kennedy was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021, and the couple were in "awe" of their little girl.
Announcing the tot's birth, Zulay wrote on her Instagram Story at the time: "She's really sweet and patient so far, not too much crying, just really curious about her surroundings.
"I just watch in awe. She also has a huge appetite like her momma."
Just six weeks later, Kevin and Kennedy contracted COVID-19
Kevin told Victory the Podcast: "I like to think I'm a pretty responsible person, even now that I have a baby. But I don't know, man … whatever this new Delta variant is. F*** man, I got sick.
"It's been hard. Anyone that has a kid knows that it's hard when your kid is sick, you know? Because there's really nothing you can do for them."
Kevin explained that his symptoms were "brutal" - but he was trying his best to cope with the illness.
By contrast, he revealed that his daughter has been "doing great".
Kevin explained: "It's just the congestion part, but the fever is down and we're all back on the road to recovery. It's a close call."

State of Origin hero Brian To'o and wife Moesha Crichton-Ropati expecting second child
Star NSW winger Brian To'o and his wife Moesha Crichton-Ropati are expecting their second child. The couple made the announcement in a beautiful Instagram post on Thursday, the day after To'o's Blues went down in the State of Origin decider. 'Another debutant winger added to the family 🎀 Princess To'o,' the pair wrote. The post was flooded with messages of love from family, friends and fans. 'Can't wait for our baby girl 🥹😭 we love yous (sic) so much,' said Leone Crichton, whose NRL star husband Stephen is a cousin of Crichton-Ropati. Stephen's sister Harmony added: 'What a blessinggg🥹🥹🥹 congratulations fam 💖.' Tuesday Rovere, who has worked with To'o's NRL club Penrith, said: 'congratulations you guys, this is so special'. That To'o's post was inundated with love is no surprise, given how admired he is by fans around the league. And we got a reminder of just why he is so popular on Wednesday night, when To'o was lauded for a classy gesture towards opposition captain Cameron Munster. To'o paid tribute to the Maroons skipper's late father, who died in the leadup to game three, by writing Steven Munster's name on his arm tape before the game. The Penrith star later shared a video of his forearm, taken pre-match, which showed the message among a number of other personal details he carried with him onto Accor Stadium. Steven's name was written and underlined next to a religious cross and a love heart. 'No weapon formed against me. Go time baby. Rest in love Steven Munster,' To'o captioned the video. The classy act didn't go unnoticed from fans, who celebrated To'o's thoughtfulness. 'Brian To'o isn't just my favourite player for his on-field performances, it's stuff like this which is why I love this dude so much,' one Panthers fan said. 'Cameron Munster was his rival last night and he still wrote Cam's dads name on his wrist tape. 'Pure class right here, rest in peace Steven Munster.'
