Jules Latimer and Kat Cunning
Fire Country star Jules Latimer and partner Kat Cunning announced their engagement with a joint Instagram post on January 5.
“This is the moment we got engaged. For the second time on this day and the third time to each other,” the caption read alongside photos of the pair’s beach engagement. The carousel also included a video of the couple getting engaged on a yacht.
“You said yes to me over Labor Day weekend when I gave you a ring that encapsulates the sharp angles of your mind and the rabbit-hole arcs of your body,” Kat wrote. “A hot tub, a full moon, Dijon and I dropping to our knees under Joshua tree stars with Juli-cat watching from the Airbnb.”
The post continued, “I said yes to you on December 23 on a yacht small enough to feel like an exoskeleton, paradise water so choppy you couldn’t tell if you were seasick or nervous. I said yes to the waves and the Tequila the humpback whales diving, to the dirty dancing song you played over the speakers and the question you finally popped over open ocean under setting sun, which looked like your finger paintings of my body.”
As for the third proposal, Kat wrote, “I said yes to a nap, yes to this dress, and yes when they told me to push a button, not knowing it would light up the sky, framing you on one knee with a single flosser in a ring box.”
Dove Cameron and Damiano David
Dove Cameron wished fans a “Happy New Year” via Instagram and revealed her engagement to rocker Damiano David. The rocker proposed with a square diamond featuring a halo cluster around the stone and on the band.
Alongside a romantic carousel of photos, Cameron described her relationship with David as “my favourite part of being alive.”
The newly-engaged couple received well-wishes from several of their friends, including Jennette McCurdy describing Cameron as a “beautiful princess.”
“OHHHH MYYYYY,” Benson Boone replied via Instagram, with Cameron’s Descendants director Kenny Ortega adding, “Wha Wha Wha What? Holy Moly! Congratulations Dove”

Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen
The RHOC star revealed to People on January 7 that her longtime love Travis Mullen proposed during a New Year getaway in Big Bear, California.
“I was in complete shock!” Gina Kirschenheiter recalled. “My nervous system was trying to catch up to what just happened in this magical moment, and I was also trying to process the iceberg that was being presented to me as well! I of course said ‘yes,’ and melted into what was the sweetest kiss I’ve ever felt!”
Mullen brought Kirschenheiter “out to the right spot for a family picture” and then surprised her with a 6-carat, oval-cut diamond ring made in partnership with Wove.
“It was perfect!” Kirschenheiter remembered. “It meant so much to be there as a family celebrating all together. We were all so happy. Truly a pinnacle moment.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County viewers watched Kirschenheiter fall in love with Mullen over several seasons of the Bravo reality show. Kirschenheiter and Mullen got together after they were both fresh out of messy divorces. (Gina shares three children — Sienna, Nicholas, and Luca— with ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter. Travis was married to Meghan Mullen for six years and they also share three children: Presley, Bennett, and Joseph.)
