Abbi Jacobson & Jodi Balfour Engaged

Abbi, 38, confirmed her new status with Balfour, 35, to People magazine, talking to the outlet at a Cinespia screening of the new Amazon Prime Video series "A League of Their Own," spun off from the 1992 film of the same name.
The two have dated since 2020, making their red-carpet debut as a couple just this past week at the L.A. premiere of "A League of Their Own."

Chanté Adams joked, "We've had to hide it for... No, I'm kidding!"
"You have not had to hide it," Jacobson replied. "It was not a secret."
