Anneliese van der Pol and Johnno Wilson are engaged, four years after the Disney Channel original series Raven’s Home introduced them. In a joint post over the weekend, the actor and actress shared the exciting news by posting a series of photos from the proposal, which took van der Pol completely by surprise, judging by the look on her face.
In the pictures, the shocked actress kneels on the floor with her mouth agape as Wilson holds up a ring box while down on one knee. The other photos in the carousel show the pair embracing after the engagement, van der Pol checking out her stunning new ring and the rock on her finger in front of a glass of champagne.
