The Kissing Booth actor went to Instagram to post a series of photographs from the proposal, revealing that the couple will marry on February 2, 2022. The actress also referred to herself as the “luckiest person alive” and said that spending the rest of her life with her lover seems like a “true dream”:

“It was 2/2/22 when you proposed to me and made me the happiest woman alive.”

Piet took to social media to post many images from the big event. He said that the pair were married in “cold and windy” conditions and referred to King as his “best friend”:

“The weather wasn’t quite ideal. It’s cold and windy. “It’s perfectly imperfect of me to ask my closest friend to spend a lifetime with me.”
