Marvin Sapp Giving Love Another Try, Announces Engagement
Marvin Sapp is stepping into a new season of family life as he announces his engagement to Dr. La’Boris Cole. The two were close friends for over a decade before quietly beginning a relationship, choosing to keep their courtship private until they were confident about their future together.
The proposal was a heartfelt surprise organized by Sapp’s children, who disguised the celebration as a birthday party. Upon arrival, Sapp got down on one knee, surrounded by both families, and asked Cole to marry him, presenting her with a beautiful diamond ring as a symbol of their love and commitment.
Sapp has long shared his journey as a widower following the 2010 passing of his wife, MaLinda Prince Sapp, after her battle with colon cancer. Devoted to raising his children, he has been open about his hope to love again as they grew into adulthood. Today, his children are grown, married, and beginning families of their own.
In 2026, Marvin Sapp celebrates a renewed chapter—embracing love once more and receiving the desire of his heart.
