Y&R Star Is Engaged!

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Julia Pace Mitchell (Sofia) has some new bling: an engagement ring! The actress’ businessman beau, Stephen L. Hightower II, popped the question over the Independence Day holiday weekend. The happy couple shared the news of their engagement with Essence.com, including how the groom-to-be accidentally texted a picture of the ring to his would-be fianceé, prompting Hightower to propose on the spot!

Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Hightower!
