    • In a Valentine's Day post on Instagram Friday, Amanda Bynes announced that she's engaged.
    • The 33-year-old actress, who has mostly stayed out of public view for the last several years amid reports that she was struggling with mental health issues and drug abuse, opted not to directly identify her fiancé in the post.
    • "Engaged to tha love of my life," Bynes captioned the photo, which featured her own hand, sporting a massive diamond engagement ring, as well as the hand of another person (presumably her fiancé) who appears to be wearing a gold wedding band.

    Amanda Bynes is engaged, apparently.

    The 33-year-old actress has been largely absent from the public eye for several years amid reports that she was struggling with mental health issues and drug abuse. She took to Instagram on Friday (Valentine's Day, appropriately enough) to share the news in the form of a ring shot highlighting her massive diamond engagement ring.

    "Engaged to tha love of my life," she captioned the picture, which also featured another hand (presumably her fiancé's), wearing what appears to be a gold wedding band. As for who the aforementioned "love of her life" is, Bynes didn't specify, instead choosing to leave the identity of her soulmate a mystery.

    And in December, she shared a selfie that offered a glimpse of two friends or family members in the background, along with the Bynes' family Christmas tree:
