ARIELLE PREPETIT IS ENGAGED AFTER A PARIS PROPOSAL

TL;DR: Arielle Prepetit, who plays Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne on Beyond the Gates, is engaged to Rachel Jarrad after a romantic Paris trip, and the couple broke the news on Instagram with a very breezy caption. Both women went down on one knee, so nobody had to wonder who was holding the ring.

A Proposal With The Eiffel Tower As Witness

Arielle Prepetit came home from France with something bigger than a tote bag. The Beyond the Gates star sharedphotos of Rachel Jarrad kneeling on a walkway overlooking the Eiffel Tower, and the caption joked about souvenirs, which is one way to announce an engagement.

Here comes the twist. Arielle had a ring of her own, so she dropped to one knee for Rachel too. Two proposals, one view, zero losers. That is more efficient than any coin toss.
