'Parenthood' Erika Christensen Engaged To Cyclist Cole Maness: Read Details On How It Happened!

Just because your TV life is in shambles doesn't mean your real life has to be! Erika Christensen, best known for her role as Julie Braverman on NBC's Parenthood, is newly engaged to her cyclist boyfriend Cole Maness.

Page Six was first to report the news, but reporting that just because Christensen is not wearing her ring doesn't mean the engagement is already off! The actress is finishing up her final season of Parenthood's, with the fall finale which airing Thursday, Nov. 20, and is concentrating on that momentarily.

The alleged engagement was speculated as the star was overheard talking about her new nuptials at an event at Yellowtail Sunset in Los Angeles — a sushi restaurant and bar — during DuJour magazine's event to welcome new chef Akira.

"My bike is my main form of transportation, so I've got a red clip-on taillight," the Traffic star told Us Weekly. "Sometimes, my boyfriend and I do evening rides to the movies or grocery store."

The two met at a bike race.

"He knew who I was and I knew who he was, so both of us were playing it cool and wouldn't talk to each other," she revealed to GENLUX magazine. And guess how she contacted him later? Via Twitter!

It took Maness three weeks to get back to her, and the texting love took off from there:

"Being willing to get hurt in love. I've been very willing to put myself out there. I've even given my number out to strangers. I've pursued people."

But Cole understood the signals she was putting out and one thing led to another. The couple has been together for two years and is ready to tie the knot.
