Congratulations are in order for Kat Graham and Darren Genet, as the director-producer popped the question in Mexico while the two celebrated his birthday in April 2022. The actor told People her boyfriend of five years pulled off the perfect surprise. "He totally got me 'cause I'm such a gullible, like, hippie, really," Graham recalled. Genet asked her to close her eyes while they were standing by the water, and when it came time for her to open them, we bet you can guess what he did next.

The two met after working in the same circles for many years, with Genet even producing a few "Vampire Diaries" episodes. Genet and Graham own "Frequency Films" and "Instinctive Entertainment" together, which are production companies headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Her fiancé also went on the road helping with her refugee work, as he detailed in an Instagram post. In the photo, he poses next to his fiance and other UNHCR workers in South Sudan. "I will be forever inspired by the commitment, compassion, kindness and sacrifice I've had the honor of sharing with these amazing people," Genet wrote.

As for what Graham can't go without on her wedding day, she told People, "Limoncello, Darren, my dog in a mini wedding dress, and my family." We say yes to that.
