‘Sonny With a Chance’ Star Tiffany Thornton Has Found Love Again After Her Husband’s Death

After the tragic death of her husband, Chris Carney, in 2015, Tiffany Thornton from Sonny With a Chance is getting married, and I couldn’t be more thrilled that she’s found happiness again.

Chris died in a car crash after only four years of marriage with Tiffany, leaving her and their two young sons heartbroken. However, it seems that time helped to heal, as Tiffany announced Tuesday via Instagram that she is engaged. Her fiancé, Josiah Capaci, is a worship pastor in Hot Springs, Ark., according to Seventeen. Tiffany let fans know in her emotional Instagram post that even though she lost Chris not long ago, this engagement came at the perfect time.

 

I never could have imagined after losing Chris that I would be in love so quickly and especially couldn’t have imagined getting married again so quickly, but the Lord works in mysterious ways and I truly believe this blessing came along at the perfect time. Not only is Josiah my best friend but he is also a fresh start for me. He reminds me that love isn’t a once in a lifetime thing. He shows me that it’s possible to open my heart again and to love deeply in return. He is kind and understanding and humble. He is exactly what I needed when I didn’t even know I needed it. And now that I’m planning a wedding that will happen in a little over two months from now I’m trying not to stress about all the details. I just want to dwell in this place of joy and excitement. So to keep one more stress off my list I’m considering getting insurance on my engagement ring. I hear @JewelersMutual is the must-have for gems and jewelry and their free online quote is quick and easy. I know I’ll sleep easier once my ring is covered, just in case something were to happen. That way I can spend my time focusing on the many amazing events coming up and the new life we will start soon! #becomingaCapaci #engaged #JewelersMutual #ad
