And Anthony couldn't contain his excitement as he gushed, “She's just the most beautiful person in the world.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “You're a lucky man,” before asking the couple how they met.
The couple met many years ago but only got back together quite recently and then sparks flew.
“We've known each other since we were in our 20s,” Brown said.
“Years ago we were in an acting class together at church. He's a great actor, by the way. Anthony Davis, everyone. He was married at the time and we were platonic friends, but then we lost touch for a few years.”
The Drake and Josh alum explained that Davis reached out in 2021 after her mother died.
“Then he found me,” she said, adding, “After he got divorced.”
The Act Your Age star feels like her late mother led Anthony to her.
“I feel like my mom and his mom kind of did it,” she explained. “He's just great… he's a nice man, guys. He is a kind, friendly, loving man.”

She also showed off her ring on December 9 when she appeared with Tom Bergeron at MPTF's Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood's Crews Telethon
And the blushing bride-to-be revealed the clever way Davis proposed.
She wore the ring in early November
They were in Ohio, where her high school Warrensville Heights High School had renamed its auditorium after her.
“We celebrated that, and then (Davis) gave me a (lottery scratch card) and the scratch card said, 'Will you marry me?' she said.
“I thought I was going to win some money and I won a man,” she joked.
She has been wearing the stone for some time.
In early November, she spoke at the American Valor: A Salute to Our Heroes event at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.
And she showed off the rock again at End Well's 2023 Symposium at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA on November 16.
