Lysa TerKeurst Introduces the World to Her New Boyfriend With the Sweetest Video

It’s been 18 months since the Proverbs 31 woman herself, Lysa TerKeurst announced her divorce from Art TerKeurst. But this week her followers are believing in love again as the 53-year-old introduced the world to her new beau, CA.

“The hard parts of our story aren’t the end of our story,” TerKeurst captioned an Instagram reel on Thursday featuring a series of clips of beautiful love and laughter. TerKeurst and “CA,” as she’s calling him for privacy reasons, are absolutely beaming in the collection of videos.

“If you would have told me this years ago, I would have thought ‘that sounds good in theory but it’s not my reality,’” TerKeurst wrote.

Lysa TerKeurst Divorces Husband Art TerKeurst

In January of 2022, just days into the new year, TerKeurst announced that her marriage of 29 years to Art TerKeurst had ended following Art’s continued infidelity.

“It’s been a year of waiting, listening to God, grieving, and taking some time off to process and heal,” the mother of five wrote in an Instagram post on New Year’s Day.

Despite renewing their wedding vows three years prior after a “painful separation,” TerKeurst revealed that her husband Art has continued to be unfaithful.

“It’s hard to face a future that looks nothing like what I desperately and constantly prayed it would look like.”

Just 18-months later and TerKeurst is tasting and seeing God’s kindness and faithfulness when it comes to love.

A New Chapter

The video features clips of the pair traveling, spending time with TerKeurst’s grandchildren and family, fishing and spending time on the water, and even going to a Taylor Swift concert. Some of the clips also feature snow and cold weather, so it’s safe to assume that while “CA” is new to the world, these two have been doing life together for several months.

“I will never understand the twists and turns of life,” she writes in the post. “But I am so grateful that when everything else feels so uncertain, the goodness and kindness of God is something we can count on.”

She continues, “There were so many days, months, years where I didn’t feel it. I had big doubts. Deep hurt. A sadness like I have never known before.

But in time, He wrote a story that was the sweetest surprise. I know many of you are still in the thick of the hurt and pain. And I’m still right here to walk beside you. I’m not through it all yet. But I am in a really beautiful part of this journey and I wanted to share it with you.”

Fans, followers and friends flocked to the comments with love and support.

“I love when He redeems our deepest ashes into beauty,” one wrote. “What a testimony for us all whatever dream in our life has been burned down at present.”

“Grateful to see God blessing you in this way!” Wrote another.

“As I’ve read thru your books and done the studies, I found myself many a time whispering a prayer for you that God would bring you a godly man to love you,” one commenter wrote. “So this is so sweet to see.”

Persevering with Faith

TerKeurst has been open about the struggles she and her ex-husband Art battled for years.

In 2019, she released her book, It’s Not Supposed to be This Way—Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointment Leaves You Shattered. It came on the heels of learning of her now-ex-husband, Art TerKeurst’s infidelity and hidden addictions followed by her breast cancer diagnosis.

In the thick of all that mess, TerKeurst continued to rely heavily on her faith in God, which is the only thing that got her through.

“I’ve looked my greatest fears in the face and I’ve been able to walk to them and through them and with the help of God, persevere through it all,” TerKeurst told Jenna Bush-Hager in 2019. “I think the unexpected strength has been physical, emotional and spiritual.”
