Antoni Porowski announced his engagement to Kevin Harrington, his boyfriend of three years, in November.
Porowski and Harrington confirmed their engagement in joint Instagram posts.
"I really hope the wedding photos are less blurry," Porowski captioned a photo of him and Harrington.
Harrington shared a carousel of photos, the last of which featured the pair dressed as zombies.
"Officially together until we look like the last pic #engaged," he wrote.
Porowski previously shared how the pandemic pushed his relationship with Harrington forward in an interview with People magazine in May.
"It escalated quickly. But I don't have any complaints, which is kind of nice," he said. "When something is stable and really good — and you communicate a lot, and you check in with each other and with your own therapist about it — I feel like that's kind of the key."
In August, Abbi Jacobson and Jodi Balfour confirmed their engagement to People magazine at the premiere of Jacobson's Amazon Prime Video series "A League of Their Own."
Jacobson and Balfour began dating in 2020, and marked one year together with Instagram posts in October.
"One year with this incredible human. Don't know how I got so lucky," Jacobson captioned a photo of her kissing Balour on the cheek.
Balfour wrote in a post of her own: "365 days of the best surprise of my life."
The couple confirmed their engagement on the red carpet of "A League of Their Own," which Jacboson co-created and stars in.

The pair met on the set of "How to Build a Girl," which Feldstein starred in and Roberts co-produced, according to Entertainment Weekly.
"Russian Doll" star Charlie Barnett announced his engagement to set designer Drew Bender at the show's season two premiere in April.
Barnett told Page Six that he and Bender will hold their "very bohemian" wedding ceremony in Wyoming, where Barnett spent summers working on a ranch while studying at Julliard.
"Wyoming is a difficult place to find things. That's where I've been a bridezilla," he said.
Bender first appeared on Barnett's Instagram account in 2018, and the couple made their red carpet debut a year later at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
Former "Survivor" contestant Zeke Smith proposed to Nico Santos of "Superstore" onstage at the annual GLAAD Media Awards in April, four years after meeting at the same event.

Colton Underwood of "The Bachelor" announced his engagement to political strategist Jordan C. Brown in February.
Underwood appeared on season 23 of "The Bachelor" before coming out as gay in April 2021. He was first spotted with Brown while vacationing in Hawaii in September 2021.
"After my birthday, Jordan and I went to Big Sur for a weekend getaway to decompress and relax in nature," Underwood told People magazine in February. "I couldn't have pictured a more beautiful place to celebrate an amazing milestone in my life and relationship."
He continued: "I'm extremely happy! 2021 was the most transformative year of my life. Starting 2022 off with my best friend, teammate and now fiancé is something I never thought was going to be possible."
"Jeopardy!" champion Amy Schneider tweeted the news of her engagement to Genevieve Davis in February.
Schneider made history as the most successful woman to have competed on "Jeopardy!," with a 40-game winning streak, second only to Ken Jennings. She met Davis in July 2020, when Schneider's friend was dating Davis' brother, according to Newsweek.
"I have an announcement: Genevieve is no longer my girlfriend... she's my fiancée!!!" Schneider tweeted in February. "I couldn't be happier or more proud to spend my life with the very best person in the entire world."
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox announced their engagement in January after a year and a half of dating.
Fox, who is bisexual, met Kelly in March 2020 on-set while filming "Midnight in the Switchgrass" in Puerto Rico. Later that year, in July 2020, the pair made their relationship Instagram official.
Fox shared a video on Instagram of Kelly getting down on one knee with a ring in January.
"Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him," she wrote. "And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes."
"…and then we drank each other's blood," the actress concluded in the caption.
Kelly shared his own post showcasing the ring's diamond and emerald stones — his and her birthstones, respectively.
"i know tradition is one ring, but i designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birth stone) and the diamond (my birth stone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love," Kelly captioned the post.
