Connie Britton is reportedly engaged to David Windsor after nearly six years of dating.
According to a report by People, published on Sunday, October 26, a representative for Britton, 58, confirmed to the outlet that she is set to tie the knot with her producer boyfriend.
The outlet also published a photo of the Friday Night Lights alum, who met Windsor at a mutual friend’s 50th birthday party in November 2019, with a ring on her left ring finger while kissing Windsor at LAX Airport on Friday, October 24.
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Britton for comment.

The actress spoke about the first time she saw Windsor, who has worked on TV series including This Is Us and Not Dead Yet in the past, during a January 2023 interview for Sirius XM’s Radio Andy. “I’m talking to my friend and he looks past me and he sees David across the room and he is like, ‘There’s someone here you have to meet,’” she told host Andy Cohen at the time before adding that she will “never forget” seeing Windsor in that moment despite not formally meeting him at the party.
Britton explained during the episode that she had to leave the party early to put her son Yoby to bed, “My friend was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. I wanted to introduce you to David!’ I’m like, ‘You know what, just have him email me,’” she said. (Britton adopted Eyob “Yoby” from Ethiopia in 2011.)
She noted, however, that Windsor sent her a message the following day, and the pair’s first public sighting was recorded by the Daily Mail who published photos of the duo leaving a West Hollywood restaurant together in September 2021. The couple attended HBO’s Emmy’s Party’s red carpet together one year later.

Britton’s 2023 interview with Cohen also touched on her growing adoration for Windsor. “I have an amazing man in [my] life now and he is definitely stepping into that more paternal role,” she told Cohen, 57, at the time. The interview also revealed that Windsor is divorced following a previous marriage and shares two children, a son named Archie and a daughter named Tilly, with his ex.
For her part, Britton married her ex, investment banker John Britton, in 1991 and the pair divorced in 1995.
The Nashville alum offered further insight into her affection for Windsor during an interview with Parade in March. “What I was really looking for was a partnership where there’s constant growth, on both sides, and a sort of deepening of each other,” she told the outlet at the time. “And therefore [a] deepening of who I am — and for him, who he is.”
Britton continued, “It’s not just, like, ‘Oh, I found true love.’ It’s that I found somebody who I can walk on a journey with that is going to be constantly ever-changing, but also ever-deepening.”
She also noted that she had previously been looking for a relationship that encouraged her to be a “better mom” while also enhancing her acting career and place in the world.
