“Honestly we just hit it off,” Pulliam said of her dopamine connection to her new fiancé. “We had a lot of downtime; there was a lot going on filming that project. So there were times where we would all be sitting in the cast seats or the van just talking.”

Despite the drama in her life, Keshia said her failed history with emotionally unavailable men has prepared her for this journey back down the aisle.
