“Faith & manifestation at its finest! You already know,” Williams captioned the photo with her friend.

The couple took their romance public in June when Williams wished her beau a happy birthday on Instagram with a photo of the two enjoying a drink together.

“Happy birthday to the one,” she wrote in the post’s caption. “This picture describes us, pure bliss. I pray God continues to bless you on this trip around the sun. Wishing you peace, love and many more blessings. I love you ❤️.”

In early August, the couple took to Gold’s Instagram page to explain to curious fans how they first met and to publicize their new YouTube channel, Life with Jen & CG.

“So I’ve seen a lot of comments about, ‘Well how did you guys meet?'” Williams began in the clip that featured the twosome casually sitting side-by-side in a kitchen. “So we’re about to talk about how we met!”

Williams showed off her pear-shaped diamond engagement ring on Instagram.

Without revealing the location and date of when they first laid eyes on each other, Gold told viewers, “So I walk around the corner and I turn and I see this beautiful woman.”

They both agreed that there was a mutual “connection,” they noted, without adding detail of their topics of conversation.”We hugged each other,” Williams recalled before Gold clarified, “We hugged each other but it wasn’t a church hug.”

After that meeting, Gold wanted confirmation from his friends that they too had noticed a spark between him and Williams.

“I hit my boy up like, ‘Bro, I know that you saw what I saw. No, like, Did you see a connection?'” he asked.

Williams added, “I texted [ex-Basketball Wives costar] Imani [Showalter] and I was like, ‘Hey, what’s up with light skin?’ ” referring to Gold. “And she’s like, ‘Oh my God, this sounds great. Like, he sounds like a great guy. How old is he?’ And I was like. ‘Oh, s—, I don’t know!’ “

Last June, the news of their romance surprised the Redefined cosmetics founder’s fans, who seemed to know little about Gold, who is yet to make his appearance on Basketball Wives.

“Huh? What happened to the other guy from the show?” one fan asked via Instagram, referring to Williams’ former boyfriend Jelani Harrison, whom Williams said she had not been in a relationship with since 2022.

Fans of the VH1 reality TV series witnessed the breakdown of Williams’ marriage to her ex-husband, former NBA star Eric Williams, whom she divorced in 2010.
