Boy Meets World star Ben Savage has announced his engagement to girlfriend Tessa Angermeier, whom he began dating two years ago. Sharing a photo of them posing near a picturesque pond with an engagement ring on Tessa's left hand, Ben wrote "the best is yet to come" alongside it.

Fans and fellow actors were quick to congratulate Ben on his engagement. Actress Rebecca Kraf wrote, "Congratulations," while Danielle Fishel added her own congratulations in the comments section.

Ben and Tessa began dating in 2018, though their relationship remained hidden from public view. Reports indicate they spent the holiday season together and recently celebrated in Indiana where they made their engagement announcement.

Though they have kept their relationship status private, rumors of an engagement have been swirling since last year. Despite their reserved natures, fans cannot wait to witness them tie the knot!

Ben and Tessa had been seen out and about together in Los Angeles earlier this month. Today, however, they chose to step away from the spotlight and take their engagement announcement to a picturesque pond in Owensville, Indiana.

Though he's kept Tessa's relationship status a secret, last month the actor proposed to her and she happily accepted. It was an incredibly special moment for them both.

Ben and Tessa have found love again and are contented ever since. The actor met Tessa while campaigning in the 2018 California state elections.

Over the weekend, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson got down on one knee to propose to his longtime fiancee Sharelle Rosado at Bar One in Miami. According to People magazine, they had been engaged since November 2020 and officially became engaged that same night at Bar One.

The former NFL player surprised Rosado with a stunning oval-cut engagement ring of 7 1/2 carats. Additionally, he invited 20 friends and family members to his surprise party which took place at a private beach in Miami.

Rosado and Johnson have been together for nearly two years, welcoming their first child - Serenity Hurricane Paula Johnson - last January. Now proud parents of a beautiful daughter, they look forward to spending the rest of their lives together in bliss.

According to Us Weekly, Rebel was an avid Disney fan and had always wanted to propose there. She spent months thinking of the perfect way to ask her soon-to-be wife to marry her, and was overjoyed when she found the ideal venue for the occasion.

4. Sara Bareilles and Joe Tippett

Sara Bareilles has celebrated the start of 2023 with an exciting announcement: she and boyfriend Joe Tippett are engaged! The "Love Song" singer announced their engagement early on New Year's Day via an adorable Instagram post featuring a photo of them grinning at one another.

Page Six reports that 43-year-old singer and Girls5eva star Joe has been in a relationship with him since August 2015, when they met while auditioning for the musical Waitress at American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Tippett and Bareilles initially co-starred in the production, though initially they didn't collaborate. Ultimately, Tippett joined Bareilles as Earl Hunterson - Jenna's abusive husband - and they became close friends thereafter. This friendship would prove fruitful when the duo made their Broadway debut together in 2017.

Following that, they continued their dating and have been making public appearances together ever since. They attended numerous opening night red carpets, PEOPLE and EW's Upfront Party, as well as the 2017 Tony Awards.

She took to her social media account to mark their third anniversary of dating, writing: "Three years feels like three hundred! Can't wait for it to be forever."

In addition to his acting career, Tippett has also enjoyed a flourishing singing career. His songs have been featured on television and have reached the top of the charts.

He has won multiple Grammys and performed at the Tony Awards. Additionally, he had a guest spot on "SpongeBob SquarePants." According to People Magazine, they plan on getting married soon.

5. Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola

Actor Jon Hamm and actress Anna Osceola have reportedly been engaged for three years after meeting on the set of Mad Men, where both played ad man Don Draper. However, it seems they only started seeing each other publicly after Hamm's longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt ended their engagement.

They were first seen out together in early 2020, and made their relationship official two months later in March of 2022. That year they attended several red carpet events such as the Oscars and Sarah Silverman's musical Bedwetter.

Hamm and Osceola had a private relationship, yet were deeply in love. Indeed, they described their connection as "the most real, beautiful, and honest" they've ever known.

Their love story began on the set of Mad Men in 2015, when Hamm and Osceola were both cast in its series finale. Osceola played a desk receptionist at a California retreat where Hamm's character stayed during its run on television.

Osceola, 17 years younger than Hamm, hails from Massachusetts but moved to California to pursue acting. She's appeared in several popular TV shows such as Greek and Rizzoli & Isles.

But it wasn't until she landed a role on Mad Men that Osceola truly found her voice as an actress. In its final season, Osceola appeared as Clementine - a receptionist at the same cult retreat where Hamm's character Don Draper had spent his entire career.

Osceola has since gone on to co-star in the 2022 comedy crime film Confess, Fletch. Additionally, she attended the world premiere for Top Gun: Maverick and appeared on the ESPY Awards red carpet.
