In a post on his Instagram account, Crist described the engagement as “the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life by far,” adding, “I love you so much [Lydia Fielder].”

In 2019, right before Netflix was slated to debut Crist’s special, “I Ain’t Prayin’ for That,” the now-41-year-old comedian was hit with allegations of sexual misconduct. At the time, Crist admitted his behavior was “hurtful,” “destructive,” and “sinful,” and said he behaved “far too casually and, in some cases, recklessly.”
