The actress continued, “And may God share this light and love with us forever in his arms, Blessed be this day with you. We’ll never forget this anniversary! Happy Valentine’s Day to my fiancé.”

She wrote alongside the picture, “You are the man of my dreams. I’m so happy we found each other here on this earth. You make me so happy. I can’t wait to start a family with you my love.”
However, it is unknown how long Cornish and Altamimi have been dating. They have also not revealed anything about their wedding plans. Moreover, the actress hasn’t shared anything about her dating life with Altamimi in years, and they don’t follow each other on Instagram, so it’s unclear if they’re still together.

After their divorce, Cornish and Phillippe were seen together in various events and programs. However, the pair’s relationship did not last long. The Blackout actress’s spokesperson revealed that she ended their three-year relationship with Phillipe in early 2010 and was seen removing her belongings from the Los Angeles house.
Following the breakup, there were rumors that Phillippe had been unfaithful to Cornish because he was frequently seen in nightclubs and had relationships with other women.
