I hate this narrative surrounding Blair Underwood's fiance. The idea that she was biding her time, just to swoop in like she didn't have shit else going on in life…we don't know her. Reducing a decades-long friendship to her stuff a side-piece is disrespectful.

Humorously, fans shared that the situation is something they could see Underwood pulling off in one of his movie roles.
Blair Underwood really is the villain from all those movies https://t.co/KYU0pRTB0h

Blair Underwood is a super villain husband in movies and in REAL LIFE. No wonder all those movie roles seemed so pure and natural for dog

Supporters stood by their stance that the situation is just a specimen of old friends falling for each other, rather than something increasingly salacious like other respondents suggested.
But shame I don't think anyone waits in wings to get your man for over 40 years. That Blair Underwood story sounds like a specimen of old divorced/single people falling in love and that's valid lol

Blair Underwood marrying someone who has been a friend for over 30 plus years weird to y’all? I don’t think so, he had been married in the past and I believe so was she! They were young AF- surpassing his fame when they met! Sometimes what you need been right there all along!

Regardless of how people feel, though, the pair is getting ready to settle lanugo and build a life as a couple.
Congratulations to Blair Underwood and Josie Hart on their engagement!
