It appears these two costars are a match made in Empire heaven as actors Actors Trai Byers and Grace Gealey from FOX's hit show are engaged to be married. Although Byers (Andre Lyon) and Gealey (Anika Calhoun) don't have very many dealings with one another on the show, as last season Gealey was Luscious Lyon's (Terrence Howard) love interest. Off screen it is a completely different script, as these two are the leading characters in their very own romance and are now readying to walk down the aisle to marital bliss.
Reports suggest that the love affair began on set of the hit show after the two began dating in the spring of 2015. According to sources, Byers proposed to the lovely actress at her birthday dinner (July 26th) among family and friends.
The beauty posted a photo of herself glowing with pure joy, captioning the photo "To all who sent greetings, called, messaged and came out to celebrate yesterday, thank you. It was an incredibly unforgettable day. And looking forward to an incredibly unforgettable year."

This is more exciting news for the cast as they are hard at work on Season 2 of the envelope-pushing show, which premieres September 23.
This season will prove to be a star-studded affair just like the last season, as celebrities such as Kelly Rowland have already signed on to have reoccuring roles. Actor and singer Tyrese is also said to be making a cameo this season as back in the spring he told Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club, family obligations prevented him from doing so last season.
Congrats to the happy couple! Check out a trailer for next season below
