“The Circle” Stars Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards Are Engaged: 'Here's to Forever with You'
"I manifested her, she manifested me, we manifested each other," the groom-to-be said in a video of the proposal posted on Instagram
The Circle season 7 couple Darian Holt and Jadejha Edwards are engaged!
The Netflix stars announced their engagement via a joint Instagram post on New Year's Day. "Here’s to forever with you 💍," Edwards captioned the carousel, which features 15 pictures from the rose-filled proposal.
On Sunday, Jan. 5, the couple shared a video on Instagram of the proposal, with Holt writing in the caption, "To Us, Always & forever ♾️❤️."
As seen in the video montage and photographs from the proposal, Holt walked Edwards into a room filled with red roses and romantic candles. A red carpet led down the aisle to a neon sign, which was framed by a red flower arch in the shape of a heart, that read, "Will you marry me?"

At the arch, Holt held Edwards' hands and seemed to tell her a heartfelt message before getting down on one knee and proposing with what appears to be a circular diamond on a band of smaller diamonds. The pair, who matched in black formal outfits, shared a sweet kiss after Edwards agreed to marry him.
"I manifested her, she manifested me, we manifested each other," Darian said in the video. "This is my baby. This is my future wife. This is my fiancée!"
Edwards was then surprised with a bottle of celebratory champagne, and was even more shocked when she was joined by her family and friends, including a fellow contestant from the seventh season of The Circle, Savannah Miller.

Middle school teacher Holt and cyber security engineer Edwards met while competing on the hit social media competition series.
In pursuit of the $100,000 grand prize, contestants move into separate apartments within the same building. They are in complete isolation for the entirety of the game, where the objective is to gain popularity on a social media platform called The Circle. Contestants, who either choose to compete as themselves or pretend they are somebody else, only communicate via text chats and photos. As alliances and friendships form, players rate one another. Those with the lowest ratings are eliminated or “blocked.”
During season 7 of The Circle, Holt and Edwards both played as themselves, and were immediately attracted by each other's profiles. They formed an alliance and flirted throughout the game, calling each other their Circle wife/husband. Even though they both were blocked from the game before the finale, they shared their first kiss on the show and even had a mock Circle wedding.
Now, the couple seems to be counting down the days until they say "I do."
The bride-to-be has already updated her Instagram bio to read: "#ToHaveAndToHolt 💍👰🏾♀️."
