The news of Will Reeve and Amanda Dubin’s engagement broke on Sunday, Nov. 10, when the couple shared the exciting announcement via Instagram. Their post featured a collection of photos from the proposal and a subsequent gathering with close friends and family.
In one of the images, 32-year-old ABC News correspondent Reeve is shown kneeling in a black suit, seemingly asking Dubin, 28, to marry him. The scene takes place in a room adorned with flowers and candles, with a stunning view of the Empire State Building visible through a large window behind them.
Dubin, an event planner, is dressed in a plum-colored skirt and matching sweater, smiling as she holds Reeve’s hands. The couple captioned the post with a simple but heartfelt message: “Us 🤍.” Reeve and Dubin, who got engaged on Nov. 8, shared their joy in a statement to PEOPLE, with Reeve expressing, “Friday was the happiest night of our lives and we can’t wait to spend forever together.”
The Instagram post continued with more intimate moments, including a photo of the couple sharing a kiss on a brown couch, with their reflection captured in a large white mirror across from them. Other images showed the two snuggling on a white couch, exchanging kisses, and enjoying each other’s company.
There were also photos of them celebrating with loved ones, including one where Dubin proudly shows off her engagement ring. The post wrapped up with shots of the romantic venue, which featured red roses, white candles, and a cellist playing.
Friends and family quickly filled the comment section with congratulatory messages. Director James Gunn, who worked with Reeve on a cameo for his upcoming Superman movie, wrote, “Wonderful! Congratulations to the both of you! ❤️.”
Reeve’s colleagues at ABC also shared their excitement, with Gio Benitez commenting, “Oh my gosh this makes me SO happy!! Congratulations you two beautiful souls!!! 😍” and Deborah Roberts adding, “Whoop 🙌🏾!! ❤️❤️.”
Reeve and Dubin made their relationship public in April 2023, with rumors of an engagement circulating prior to their official announcement. In January 2024, Reeve spoke about the unpredictability of love, reflecting, “If I can speak personally, it will happen when you least expect it.
And you’ll be the happiest you’ll ever be,” during a segment on ABC News. His co-hosts joked about his comments, with Linsey Davis quipping, “I thought he was going to get down on one knee or something,” and Michael Strahan asking, “Are you trying to tell us something, Will?” Reeve simply responded, “No. No, just happy. Just happy. I love life.”
Since the start of their relationship, Reeve and Dubin have frequently shared glimpses of their life together on social media. One such post from April 2023 showed them enjoying Paris, with Reeve captioning the photo, “Paris is for birthdays. The happiest to @amandadubin.”
