Jaime King made a rare comment about her fiancé, Austin Sosa.
During Tuesday’s episode of the “Juicy Scoop” podcast, host Heather McDonald noted that her guest, King, is “recently engaged” before asking how she and Sosa met.
“We met through mutual friends,” the actress, 46, replied, agreeing that it’s an “exciting” time in her life.
Page Six confirmed in July that King and Sosa, an investment banker, were engaged.
After the “White Chicks” star flashed a diamond ring on that finger, her rep told us, “Jaime is embracing a joyful new chapter with her engagement to Austin Sosa. … She’s especially happy to share this moment with her children, who have a loving bond with Austin and his family.”
The rep made sure to add, “Her sons remain her top priority, and she kindly asks for privacy as they move forward together with love and gratitude.”
Meanwhile, a source elaborated to People, “She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year.”
King included Sosa in the caption of a June Instagram post but did not feature his photo in the carousel.
“My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever 🎀💅🏻💯💗,” she gushed alongside four pictures of her with her sons: James, 11, and Leo, 9.
King shares the boys with her ex-husband, Kyle Newman, whom she married in November 2007.
The “Sin City” star filed for divorce in May 2020, leading to contentious proceedings. After she accused the filmmaker of abuse, he denied her allegations and claimed she was a “chronic drug addict and alcoholic.”
They settled their split in September 2023.
However, the following October, Newman, 49, accused King of being “strung out” and “drunk” while their kids were in her care.
Five months later, the actress lost physical custody of the boys after failing to complete a drug and alcohol rehab program; however, she was given supervised visitation rights.
Days later, a “devastated and embarrassed” King was forced to move out of her Los Angeles rental home for owing thousands of dollars in back rent.
When McDonald asked King about her sons, she simply said they were “very busy.”
