Pastor Jamal Bryant recently announced his engagement to Pastor Karri Turner.
The 53-year-old shared the good news with his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church congregation.
Bryant said, “I am so grateful to God that she has consented to be my wife.” The church members cheered upon the pastor’s revelation. He continued, “Thank God for Dr. Karri Turner.” Turner made her way up to the stage as applause grew louder. She took Bryant’s hand and wiped tears from her eyes as he spoke of their engagement.
“I can’t tell you how happy I am. How happy my family is. How happy my children are. And I hope my church is happy for me,” Pastor Jamal said. The congregation responded with more cheers.
“I want you to know from me, why it is that I wanted to marry this woman. Not just because she’s beautiful but because she’s brilliant. Because she is anointed, and she makes me a better man,” Bryant proudly shared.
Roommates under The Shade Room’s report weighed in on Pastor Bryant’s announcement video.
@iamjusnik said, “HE said, ‘I want her to be the moon because I don’t want there to be a NIGHT that I don’t SEE her! Pastor got game, hahah.”
Many social media users are singing, “Twin, where have you been?” as they highlight the resemblance between Karri and Pastor Jamal’s ex-wife, Gizelle Bryant, who currently stars on ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac.’ They share three children. Furthermore, their 8-year marriage came to a close due to infidelity.
@itty_britt wrote, “She kinda looks like Gizelle no shade no tea.”
@simplyyydaniii joked, “not the gizelle look alike.”
“That boy dressed like he about to lead a French Revolution,” @quameenv quipped.
Karri previously explained on a ‘Dear Future Wifey’ panel what women should look for in a man.
