After the two went their separate ways, Olubeko proposed to Lawson in a magical moment.

“You have been able to make me feel so incredibly special,” Olubeko said to the child and family therapist. “You have made me feel adored and validated and wanted. And to receive that from a woman of your caliber, Charity, I don’t think you understand what that means to me. But I’m certain that I want to spend the rest of my life showing you.”
