Since they met in 2009, Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha kept their relationship firmly under wraps. So, it’s unclear exactly when Asomugha popped the question. However, when it did happen, Washington wanted to protect their special moment as much as possible. “For months, I had been wearing my engagement ring secretly pinned inside my clothing for fear that if people knew we were engaged, it would be impossible to have a wedding away from public spectacle,” Washington wrote in “Thicker Than Water” (via People).
The woman who winningly brought “Scandal’s” Olivia Pope to life also acknowledged that it has not been easy for Asomugha to finally reveal such intimate information about their time together. Nevertheless, she praised the athlete-turned-actor for his unwavering support. As Washington explained, “I’m really grateful that he allowed me to put some of that in there because I think it was really pertinent to telling the story of me stepping into being a person who felt solid and independent enough that I could commit to another person.”
