The actor, 53, revealed their engagement news on Instagram on Saturday by sharing a video from his proposal and writing, “For the last 2 years in Every Way and Every Day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole.”
“I am so grateful and thrilled she said ‘Yes.’ I WAY love you Brianna & Thank You to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky,” he added.

Courtney Stodden got engaged to her boyfriend, Jared Safier, on June 11 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., sources told TMZ Thursday.
The Emmy-winning producer reportedly popped the question to Stodden at the hotel’s Blvd Restaurant & Bar but waited until they were home in Brentwood, Calif., to formally get down on one knee.
Stodden was previously engaged to Chris Sheng before splitting in 2023. She was also married to Doug Hutchison from 2011 to 2021.

Healy’s mom, “Loose Women” co-host Denise Welch, confirmed the news the following morning while gushing over how “thrilled” she was for the couple.

Phoebe Dynevor and Cameron Fuller revealed that they got engaged in May.

The Netflix star was previously romantically linked to Pete Davidson.
Ashanti and Nelly
Ashanti and Nelly are engaged!
After the “Foolish” singer announced her pregnancy April 17, she also revealed that the “Dilemma” rapper had popped the question.
“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she told Essence. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”
Ashanti and Nelly previously dated for a decade before they split in 2013. However, they gave their love another shot in 2023.
The “Over and Over” emcee is also a dad to daughter Chanelle and son Cornell Haynes III with ex Channetta Valentine.
He has also adopted his late sister Jackie Donahue’s two children after she died of leukemia in 2005.

Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian got engaged in the Bahamas on April 11.
“We’re both super stoked and couldn’t be happier,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star told People. “We always say that our love is a gift, and this just feels like the icing on the cake.”
The couple were first romantically linked in September 2020 when Jennifer was still wed to her estranged husband, William Pedranti.
The Bravo star and the businessman are still in the middle of their divorce proceedings, per the outlet.

“Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” star Preston Mitchum is engaged to Donald Cooley after three years of dating.
“We, Preston and Donald, joyfully announce our recent engagement while traveling in Madrid, Spain,” the couple told People April 11.
“In a world where love between Black queer men isn’t always acknowledged or celebrated, we stand proudly together on this beautiful road together,” they added.
“Our journey is a testament to the beauty and strength of love in all its forms and a commitment to always love and learn from each other. With hearts full of gratitude, we look forward to writing the next chapter of our lives together.”

“Life update: Fiancé 💍🥹♥️ 3.16.24 The easiest question I’ve ever answered.. happiest & luckiest girl in the world 😭 I’ll love you forever and then some 🤍 #Futurewifey #Engaged,” Giancola captioned images from the proposal.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson
On March 6, the Mirror reported that “50 Shades of Grey” star Dakota Johnson and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin had gotten engaged. However, Page Six later confirmed they’ve been planning on getting married for quite some time — years even.
Johnson was first subject to engagement rumors in 2020 when she debuted a large emerald ring on her left ring finger.
Hollywood insiders told Page Six the sparkler is an engagement ring, even though she does not always wear it.
Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson
Ed Westwick and his girlfriend, Amy Jackson, announced their engagement on Jan. 29.
The “Gossip Girl” alum and the Bollywood actress shared a joint Instagram post that showed a series of photos from the romantic proposal which took place overlooking the mountains in Gstaad, Switzerland.
Westwick –– who played Chuck Bass on the hit teen drama –– got down on one knee on a narrow bridge between several snow-capped mountains while people looked on from an adjoining observation area.
“Hell YES💍,” they captioned the joint post.
Ioan Gruffudd and Bianca Wallace
Actress Bianca Wallace announced that Ioan Gruffudd proposed to her after two years of dating.
“The most precious thing happened… ❤️💍,” Wallace wrote on Instagram Saturday, Jan. 20.
The “Fantastic Four” star got down on one knee following a brutal divorce from his now-ex-wife, Alice Evans, with whom he shares two children.
Brayden Bowers and Christina Mandrell
Brayden Bowers faced fury from fans when he proposed in January to fiancée Christina Mandrell during the “Golden Bachelor” wedding.
Mandrell, who appeared on Zach Shallcross’ season of “The Bachelor” last year, knelt to Bowers’ level and accepted his proposal — with a Neil Lane ring — with a kiss.
Although host Jesse Palmer reassured fans that Bowers called the “Golden Bachelor” couple to get “their blessing before he proposed,” fans still slammed the reality TV star for seemingly trying to steal their thunder.
Marshall Glaze and Dr. Chay Barnes
“Love Is Blind” alum Marshall Glaze announced on Jan. 23 that he secretly popped the question to his girlfriend, Dr. Chay Barnes, in December 2023.
“The journey to ‘Happily Ever After’ started on 12.23.23 ❤️💍 #engagement,” he captioned a carousel of pics from the big day on Instagram.
“Such a special day 🥹 She had NO idea. GOTCHA!” he said in a follow-up post before thanking his “Love Is Blind” castmate Irina Solomonova for helping him “execute the vision” for his proposal.
During Season 4 of the hit Netflix show, Glaze dated Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds sight unseen in the pods and proposed to her.
However, they never made it down the aisle as Bonds called it off with Glaze and began dating Josh Demas, who she also met on the show.
