20 year old Eva Pigford of UPN's 'America's Next Top Model' Reality Show recently became engaged to 36 year old Henry Simmons of NYPD Blue and is sporting a 5 karat diamond ring to prove it. Henry met Eva at a fashion show where the diva worked the catwalk and it was love at first sight, he said.
"Eva is an intelligent business minded individual that I deeply love very much," he said. The couple are planning a spring wedding in California next year.

Eva who came to fame in 2004 was a 19-year-old student from Los Angeles who had been criticized for her "diva" attitude earlier in the competition, was

crowned 'America's Next Top Model' during the third cycle of the popular UPN "dramality" series. This win lead up to numerous Covergirl endorsments, magazine spreads and tv hosting jobs.

Henry is one of three children born to a retired IRS agent and a former school teacher. One of his sisters is his twin. Simmons earned a basketball

scholarship at Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire. He graduated with a business degree and quickly went to work for a Stamford financial firm. He quickly realized that was not his calling.

He started studying acting at night. He soon was sneaking away from work to go to auditions. He made his TV debut in a "Saturday Night Live" skit, replacing NBA star Derrick Coleman after he broke an ankle. He then got bit

parts on several TV series. This led to a continuous role on the soap opera

"Another World" and then to "NYPD Blue". While waiting for his breakthrough, he worked as a hotel bellman.

Well, there goes all those rumors about Eva and Missy.
