Rooted in faith, love, and shared purpose, their engagement represents far more than a personal milestone. This marks the beginning of a legacy built on God, family, ministry, creativity, and impact.
Jalyka, 25, a respected entrepreneur, artist, actress, and beauty, lifestyle, and faith-based creator, and Joshua, 21, pastor of Hoover Ministries, speaker, actor, author, comedian, and content creator, have each dedicated their lives to inspiring others through their individual platforms. Together, they have become a powerful example of what intentional, Christ-centered love can look like in today’s generation.
What began as a long-distance relationship quickly became a source of hope and encouragement for thousands of people of all ages when Joshua and Jalyka began their couples page in February 2025.

Their rapidly growing online community has followed their journey through travel, faith, lifestyle, and everyday moments, celebrating a relationship built on prayer, friendship, goofiness, trust, and most of all, purpose.
Their engagement was a fitting reflection of the life they have shared with their audience.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting golden light across the endless blue waters, the moment felt both intimate and breathtakingly cinematic. The unforgettable moment, filled with worship, joy, tears, and celebration, marked the beginning of a new season for the couple and those who have faithfully followed their story.

“Joshua is God’s best gift to me,” said Jalyka Smith. “I am so grateful for the love, growth, and purpose that we share and am so excited to witness the life God is building through us and for us.”
Joshua Hoover added:
“Jalyka is my rib. She’s is the proof that God knows my heart better than I do. I am forever grateful that God has entrusted me with such an incredible woman of God! It’s us against the world.”
As they celebrate this new chapter, Joshua and Jalyka look forward to sharing select moments from their engagement season with family, friends, supporters, and their growing online community. Wedding details and future announcements will be shared at a later date.
