Ben Platt and Noah Galvin Recall Night of Their Engagement: 'It Looked Like the Set of The Bachelor '

Ben Platt and Noah Galvin are looking back on a special night.

Platt, 29, and Galvin, 28, appeared on PBS NewsHour Thursday, where they opened up about the night they got engaged in November. After host Amna Nawaz toasted the couple — who star in the new film Theater Camp together — Platt reacted to setting up the engagement, stating, "I did pretty good, I think."

As Nawaz then asked the pair to share "an engagement story," Platt replied, "Well, we will keep some of the details to ourselves, but I will just say I surprised him when I told him I was taking him to dinner with his sister."

"It was gorgeous," Galvin said, as Platt added, "We spent the night with our families having dinner, and some friends. It was great."

After Platt stepped down from his Dear Evan Hansen role in the Tony-winning musical, Galvin was announced as his replacement in November 2017. From there, the two developed a close friendship that eventually blossomed into a romance a few years later.

The couple confirmed their relationship status in May 2020, when Galvin appeared on an episode of the Little Known Facts with Ilana Levine podcast.

"We were friends for five years, and right before the pandemic we finally decided to really give it a shot," Platt later told Kelly Clarkson of how their relationship developed over the years. "We kind of skated around it for a long time."
