Meghan gushed over her engagement during the November 2 episode of The View. “We’ve been together for years. We’ve been engaged for a while and it’s a secret,” she revealed at the time. “I was hoping to get married and people wouldn’t find out, but people talk sometimes. I love him very much, I’m very happy.”

The Outnumbered alum also opened up about getting engaged to the CBS contributor during a challenging time in her family’s life as her father battles glioblastoma, an aggressive stage 4 brain cancer, which he was diagnosed with in July. “We were at Mayo Clinic, and my father had his scan, and we got engaged because we decided to sort of celebrate life and celebrate being alive,” she said. “It’s not the most romantic story, but he is my partner.”
