Ellie Kemper and Michael Koman<\/p>\n

It looks like Ellie Kemper<\/a> will need some Bridesmaids<\/em> of her own.<\/p>\n

The actress, 31, who starred in the hit comedy<\/a> earlier this year, is engaged to Michael Koman, her boyfriend of a few years, she confirmed to Conan O’Brien on Conan<\/em><\/a> Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

“I want to mention something,” O’Brien said to Kemper, who also has a supporting role on The Office<\/em> as Erin Hannon. “It’s sort of a big deal around this office. You got engaged.” <\/p>\n

“Yeah, I did!” Kemper answered excitedly about her fianc\u00e9, whom O’Brien describes as a “very talented writer who worked for me for many, many years.”<\/p>\n

“Michael’s a delight, as you know, so of course [my parents] like him a lot,” the actress said.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to the rest of her family, Koman didn’t get the official stamp of approval right away. A couple Thanksgivings ago, says Kemper, her grandfather grilled her on her beau.<\/p>\n

When it was time for dessert, “There was a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie out, and my grandpa said, ‘Ellie, what kind of pie are you gonna have?’ ” Kemper recalls.<\/p>\n

“And I said, ‘I don’t know, grandpa. They both look really good. I think I’ll have pecan.’ He said, ‘Are you sure, Ellie? Because it’s okay to keep your options open. You don’t have to settle on a pie right now,’ ” she recalls with a laugh. “I think Michael started to squirm!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
