Katie Stevens, star of Freeform’s The Bold Type, appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and made everyone watching extremely jealous when Meyers asked her about her recent engagement.
Katie’s fiancé is Paul DiGiovanni, the guitarist of band Boys Like Girls, and the two have been together for four and a half years. It seems like they are romantics at heart: Paul had written Katie love letters three years ago that he told her to open at certain times over the course of their relationship, and Katie also told Seth Meyers that she’d been hinting at asking him to marry her for some time now.
“He used to say things like, ‘I’m gonna marry you someday’ and I’d say, ‘You’re gonna marry me on Sunday?’” she said, pretending to mishear. So when the couple took a vacation to the Alps in Switzerland (which is enough to make me envy them already), Paul asked her what day it was.
“And it was Sunday,” Katie said. Do you have butterflies in your stomach yet? Because I sure do.
Get ready for the kicker, though: remember how I said Paul wrote Katie letters?
“One letter said, ‘Do not open until I say so,’” Katie said on Late Night. “So he pulled it out at the lake and I opened it and it said, ‘Katie, marry me?’”
I can’t get over how romantic this is. This means Paul knew that he wanted to marry Katie for literally three years, and also trusted her not to open it too soon. So, he technically proposed to her three years ago. That’s just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.
Congrats to the happy couple!
