Sara Bareillesandboyfriend Joe Tippettreached a milestone in their relationship over the weekend!
“Three years,” she wrote in the caption to the photos, joking, “Feels like three hundred!”
“Can’t wait for it to be forever,” Bareilles added.
That last line quickly had fans and Bareilles’ close friends scrambling, thinking that she and Tippett were announcing their engagement.
The next day, Bareilles clarified.
“We are not engaged, just in love,” she said on her Instagram Story. “Note to self; don’t use the word forever in posts about your relationship because boy, do you get texts about it!”
She went on to share a photo of her ringless hand to Instagram.
“No engaged everyone but thank you for all the cute wishes and the reminder that my post may have [misled] you. Haha sorrryyyyyyy,” she labeled the photo.
And while Bareilles may not be engaged, she did let fans know in her post that she and Tippett are “very engaging though.”
“Please send gifts,” she teased.
Bareilles met Tippett while working on the hit Broadway musicalWaitress.
She composed the score and he played Earl, the moody husband of the story’s protagonist Jenna.
They first worked together on the musical adaptation of the2007 Adrienne Shelly filmduring its out-of-town tryout at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts in August 2015.
