Actor Marcus Scribner, known for his role in the hit series *black-ish*, has confirmed his engagement during a recent appearance on the daytime talk show *Sherri*. The announcement came on 12 March when host Sherri Shepherd quizzed Scribner about an intriguing Instagram post he shared that fueled speculation about his marital status.


Scribner, aged 26, took to Instagram on 10 September 2025, posting a series of casual photos along with a video, all under the caption “life 🥰.” Among the images was a close-up of his hand intertwined with that of a mystery woman, who was prominently displaying a diamond engagement ring on her left hand. This particular photo prompted a wave of congratulatory messages from various celebrities, including the likes of Keke Palmer, Francia Raisa, and Jenifer Lewis. Scribner expressed his gratitude by commenting, “Thank you all for the love,” which only added to the buzz surrounding his engagement.
During the show, Shepherd brought up the photo, saying, “I follow you on Instagram, Marcus. And um, I saw something, and I was like, ‘What is this?’ I saw two hands and an engagement ring.” With a playful tone, she asked, “Should I be congratulating you?” To which Scribner readily responded, “Yes, you should be congratulating me. I am engaged to be married sometime this year. We’re keeping it a little bit low key.”
While the actor opted not to disclose the identity of his fiancée, he did offer some insight into the wedding planning process. Scribner shared that he is currently feeling the pressure of finalising the guest list. “I’m stressing about invites right now,” he admitted. “Like cutting down the list and everything is stressing me out.”
Shepherd, drawing on her own experiences from two previous marriages, suggested a strategy for managing guest invitations. “For the invitation, I said, ‘If you have not talked about your significant other for more than 15 minutes, you can’t bring anybody. You’ve got to come by yourself,’” she recounted, adding that married guests are certainly invited with their partners. She noted, however, that children would not be included—unless they were a part of the immediate family.
Scribner appeared to appreciate the idea, nodding in agreement. He confirmed that his wedding would indeed be child-free, with the notable exception of his three-year-old brother, who is set to be the ring bearer. “He’s the only kid who’s going to be at the wedding,” Scribner said, emphasising their intention for a more adult gathering.
As for whether Sherri Shepherd would receive an invitation, the actor hinted, “Check your mailbox,” leaving audiences in suspense about whether the comedian would be among the select few to celebrate the occasion. Shepherd, ever the jokester, replied with a laugh that she wouldn’t require a plus one, quipping, “If everybody look like you, I’m going to come back with a young thing from your wedding. Invite me, Marcus!”
The conversation unfolded with light-hearted banter, showcasing a delightful rapport between Scribner and Shepherd. Amid the laughter, it became evident that they are both keen on creating a memorable and intimate celebration for the couple’s big day.
As Marcus Scribner prepares to embark on this new chapter of his life, the excitement surrounding his engagement is palpable. With wedding planning under way and a promise of joy shared with close family and friends, followers eagerly await more details about what is sure to be a memorable celebration.
