They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and Terrence Howard can definitely relate to that. The actor recently proposed to his ex-wife, Mira Pak for the second time, three years after their divorce in 2015.

In an Instagram post announcing the engagement, the Empire actor makes a toast about the impact his lady has had on his life: “We have an idea of how long we think life is, but we do know how short it can be. It took me 45 years to find you. It took me 45 years to find you. But now that I have you in my 50th year, I will spend the rest of eternity at your side. And I pray that everybody finds that one that will complete them for all eternity because it means everything. I love you.”

Mira might just be his person. Last year, Howard told People Pak settled him. Even adding: “Two weeks after meeting Mira, I gathered up things associated with my past and found a nice hill and buried them all there.”

Terrence enlisted the help of celebrity jeweler, Ben Baller to create the perfect ring for his proposal to the former model. He designed a beautiful 7-carat VVS diamond ‘Ben Baller Setting’ rose gold engagement ring for her to rock.

The couple first wed in 2013, but their divorce was revealed in 2015 during the closing arguments for a lawsuit between the “Hustle & Flow” star and his second wife, Michelle Ghent. After the divorce news broke, Pak and Howard were seen walking the Emmy red carpet and attending a charity event together. The 49-year-old even called her “my life’s love” in an anniversary tweet.

The couple has two sons together Qirin, 3, and Hero, 2. Terrence also has three children from his first marriage to Lori McCommas.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
