Jenny Slate<\/a><\/strong>is a bride-to-be! <\/p>\n

The actress-comedienne announced her engagement to boyfriend Ben Shattuck<\/strong> on Monday via Instagram. Sharing a plethora of photos from the future newlyweds’ recent trip to Europe, Slate revealed her artist-writer beau surprised her by popping the question in France. <\/p>\n

“He took me to France and made a picnic and made me feel happy and free and then he asked me to marry him and i screamed YES,” the 37-year-old Parks and Recreation <\/em>alum shared<\/a>. “I love you @benshattuck_art, you are the kindest and brightest and I am so grateful and here we go and keep going.”<\/p>\n

In one snapshot capturing Jenny’s post-engagement bliss, she’s wearing what looks like a vintage-inspired ring with a dark stone in the middle and a gold band. The couple first went public<\/a> with their relationship while attending the Sundance Film Festival in early 2019. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Ben shared even more details from their romantic proposal, writing on Instagram<\/a>, “In an abandoned castle in southern France, I asked this woman to marry me. Here she is in front of a door the color of her soul. In LA \/ MA \/ Holland \/ Belgium \/ France thank you @jennyslate and UP UP UP to more adventures.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Prior to finding her happily ever after, Jenny dated her Gifted<\/em> co-star Chris Evans<\/a><\/strong> for nearly two years. The stars officially called it quits in 2018<\/a>, but had broken up and gotten back together once before in 2017. <\/p>\n

A source close to the Captain America<\/em> star told E! News<\/a>, “It wasn’t dramatic or anything like that.”<\/p>\n

In fact, Slate had nothing but nice things to say about her ex (who she described as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever met”) in an interview<\/a> with Vulture<\/em>. As she described at the time, “He has beautiful, big, strong emotions, and he’s really sure of them. It’s just wonderful to be around. His heart is probably golden-colored, if you could paint it.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Congratulations to the happy couple! <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
