'Orange Is The New Black' Star Taryn Manning Engaged To Musician Anne Cline: 'It Was The Easiest Yes I Ever Said'
Taryn Manning is sporting a new diamond accessory on that finger after saying yes to Anne Cline's proposal.
The 42-year-old actress' musician fiancée popped the question on Friday, June 11, at a bar in Panama City, Fla. In the loved-up proposal clip, Cline was performing with her band, Cline Street, on stage before she hopped off to approach Manning in the audience.
The blonde babe got down on one knee and presented the actress with a diamond ring. With her hands over her mouth, Manning — who was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotion — leaned down to hear her girlfriend's words before responding with a kiss.
“I think that’s a yes,” the DJ is heard saying in the background of the clip. “Y’all make some noise.” As the audience cheered for the couple, the 31-year-old slid Manning's newest piece of jewelry onto her finger.
After exchanging a few more excited kisses, the lovebirds stood up and hugged, which was met by more cheers from the crowd, per the video obtained by TMZ.
The ladies "are thrilled" about their engagement, a rep for Manning told the outlet, with the Orange Is the New Black star adding: "It was the easiest YES I ever said!"
It is unclear when the newly engaged couple began dating. The duo has kept their relationship on the down-low, with neither flaunting their romance on their respective Instagram pages. However, photos of the two walking dogs together surfaced earlier this year.
In a 2017 interview with PEOPLE, Manning opened up about her sexuality, noting that she identified as straight although she has experimented with girls in the past. "I'm not gay, meaning I love men," she previously said. "I love gay people. I've experimented. It's good. I just prefer men."
Apart from appearing as Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett in Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, Manning has also been in Sons of Anarchy, Hustle & Flow and Crossroads alongside Britney Spears. Meanwhile there is little known about her fiancée besides the fact that she's a musician who appears to travel a lot, according to her Instagram page.
