She Said Yes! LisaRaye and Anthony Bryant Are Engaged
By Yolanda Spivey
Acclaimed actress and model LisaRaye McCoy, widely recognized for her roles in The Players Club, the CW sitcom All of Us, and VH1’s Single Ladies, is embarking on a remarkable new journey in her personal life. Known for her beauty, talent, and resilience, McCoy recently surprised viewers during a televised moment when she received not one, but two romantic proposals. The unexpected revelation that the mystery woman was LisaRaye herself captivated audiences and sparked renewed interest in her romantic journey.
While the spotlight has often shone on McCoy’s professional accomplishments, her personal life has been equally eventful. A former First Lady of the Turks and Caicos Islands, McCoy was once married to then-Prime Minister Michael Misick. Their high-profile union came to an end amidst political controversy and allegations of internal corruption during Misick’s tenure from 2003 to 2006. Following the dissolution of that marriage, McCoy was rumored to be romantically linked to Bishop Noel Jones in California—speculation that she later addressed publicly.
In a candid interview with Cocoafab.com, McCoy opened up about her decision to take a different approach to love and relationships by choosing celibacy. “I’m in a new place,” she shared. “I’ve tried everything but celibacy, and I really want to know what it feels like to be touched by someone with a mental touch and not a physical touch.”
She expressed a desire to cultivate a meaningful connection grounded in friendship, emotional intimacy, and shared understanding. “I want to build the foundation of the friendship for real,” McCoy explained. “To have my best friend—not because we’re physically intimate, but because we’re mentally intimate. So I’m waiting for that person to come into my life.”
At 51, McCoy remains clear about her intentions and what she values in a relationship. “I want someone to know me, to learn me,” she said. “I want to start dating the man that I’m going to marry. I want to start having fun with someone I know I’m going to be with. I don’t play any games. I’m too old for that. I’ve been there, I’ve been around the block.”
With this latest public moment signaling a possible new beginning, it appears that McCoy’s commitment to emotional growth and spiritual clarity may be guiding her toward a deeper, more fulfilling partnership. Whether or not she accepts either of the proposals remains to be seen, but what is certain is that LisaRaye McCoy is approaching love with wisdom, intention, and grace.
