The pair were engaged in 2022 and Fox announced the news by sharing a video of the moment he proposed.

She wrote: "In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree

"We asked for magic

"We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time.

"Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma."

The Jennifer's Body star added: "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.

"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".
