A brief timeline of Keshia Knight Pulliam and Brad James' relationship
The 42-year old actress met Brad James sometime before their work together in 2019's Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta. However, Pulliam does not remember their first interaction before meeting on set.
The two played Caroline and Mr. Bingley in Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta. While talking with 9MagTV in April 2020, Keshia Knight Pulliam mentioned,
"We had a lot of downtime; there was a lot going on filming that project (Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta). So there were times where we would all be sitting in the cast seats or the van just talking."
According to a PEOPLE exclusive report in December 2020, A House Divided star Brad James (40) proposed to Pulliam earlier that month in Atlanta, Georgia. Furthermore, the report mentioned that James popped the question with a custom diamond ring by Fevzi (Aydin Jewelers).
