A rep for “The View,” the show Sherri co-hosts on ABC, confirmed to Access Hollywood on Tuesday that she is engaged to TV writer Lamar Sally.

Lamar proposed to Sherri over the holidays – on Dec. 26 – according to the star’s rep.

“Upon arriving back to Lamar’s home in Los Angeles from a trip to San Diego, Sherri was surprised to find their accommodations had been decorated with lights by one of Sal’s best friends, her dog was wearing a Santa beard and hat, and, in the middle of a dish of Sherri’s favorite, but forbidden, M&M’s (she is diabetic), was a tiny little box,” Sherri’s rep said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Lamar will be the second man in Sherri’s life. “The View” lady has a young son, 5-year-old Jeffrey.

Lamar asked Jeffrey first before proposing to his ladylove of more than a year — he also sweetened the deal by giving Jeffrey a Michael Jackson Wii game, the rep said.

The couple will wed in August in Chicago .

While Sherri hasn’t Tweeted about the news, she will address the subject when “The View” returns with live episodes next week on Jan. 10.
