Jamie King appears to be firmly in Loverville.

The “Hart of Dixie” star is engaged to investment banker Austin Sosa following her contentious divorce battle with ex Kyle Newman, People reports.

King, 46, recently lost physical custody of her sons James, 11, and Leo, 9, and was forced out of her Los Angeles pad for owing more than $42,000 in back rent.

As a result, King had been “staying with [Sosa’s] parents” in the lead-up to their engagement.

“She is very close with his family,” a source told the outlet.

In new photos obtained by Page Six, King flashed her diamond sparkler following an appointment at Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood Monday.

King has only included Sosa in the caption of her Instagram post from last month, though she did not post a photo of her new beau.

“My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever 🎀💅🏻💯💗,” she wrote alongside several images of her with her two sons.

In March, a judge ruled that King and Newman, 49, will share legal custody of their two children, but the filmmaker will have sole physical custody.

King was given visitation rights, but she would have to be supervised and could only see the boys three times a week. In addition to supervised visits, King had been ordered to finish six months of rehab for drugs and alcohol. 

Her custody agreement was dramatically amended after she failed to complete a six-month drug and alcohol program that consisted of weekly testing, a 26-week parenting program and both individual and conjoint counseling with her children.

“I’ve never had to think about myself as sober or not sober. I stopped using drugs at 17 or something,” King said.

In October 2024, Newman filed for sole custody of the kids after claiming he found his ex-wife “strung out” and “drunk” while watching their sons.

The exes were locked in a lengthy legal battle over finances and custody when King filed for divorce in 2020 after 13 years of marriage. They finally settled their divorce in 2023.

In March, King broke her silence after being kicked out of her LA home for racking up more than $42,000 in back rent.
