The actress from “I Want You Back” and the art curator were first seen together at the Sundance Film Festival in January of 2019. During their September trip to Paris, Shattuck popped the question to Slate. Slate revealed the engagement on Instagram: “He brought me to France and planned a picnic and made me feel joyful and free and then he proposed me to marry him and I yelled YES.” You are the most thoughtful and brilliant person I know, and I am eternally thankful to you.
