Christian comedian John Crist is engaged to Nashville news anchor Lydia Fielder. The joyful announcement was shared by the comedian on his social media platforms, giving fans a glimpse of the special moment.
Crist—celebrated for his clean, witty takes on Christian culture—posted photos of the proposal on Instagram, captioning them: “The best thing that’s ever happened to me in my entire life by far. I love you so much, Lydia Fielder.”
Fielder, who co-anchors at WSMV-TV in Nashville, echoed the excitement in her own post, writing: “God wrote it from the start, my first love is now my forever love. I do, John B. Crist.” She later commented on his post with: “God’s redemptive plan, JB. I LOVE YOU!”
The couple’s engagement has quickly drawn warm reactions, with fans, colleagues, and fellow celebrities sending heartfelt congratulations in the comments.
Crist, 41, grew up in Atlanta as one of eight siblings in a pastor’s family. Since beginning his stand-up career in 2009, he has performed at churches, comedy clubs, and open-mic venues. While he faced a career setback in 2019 following allegations of misconduct—which led to the cancellation of a Netflix special and his tour dates—Crist has continued to rebuild and remains a beloved figure in the Christian entertainment space.
