Dane Cook is engaged to longtime girlfriend Kelsi Taylor.

After five years of dating, the comedian popped the question on July 13, 2022 at York Beach, Maine, a place that holds special meaning for the couple.

"When we started dating, we went there on our first trip together, so to return five years later was meaningful to us," Cook tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"It's a place I spent much time in growing up so I have such fond memories there. After my mother passed away, she asked me and my siblings to release her at her favorite spot, the breathtaking location, at the tip of Cape Neddick Point, Nubble Lighthouse, where our vacation cottage is located. It felt like the right place."

Taylor added that the engagement came as such a shock to her and was a "pinch-me moment ... I hugged my mom and couldn't wait to FaceTime the rest of my family and share the news. My family loves him so much, so they were beyond excited for us."

Cook is also excited for their life together, and in November 2022, he told PEOPLE that he's already thinking about kids. "I can't wait to be very honest with you," the comedian said. "I'm just excited at the possibility. Her sister just had her second baby and I love seeing her with the kid. She loves it and I love kids. When the time is right, we'll check it out."

While Cook is well-known for his roles in Good Luck Chuck and My Best Friend's Girl, here's everything to know about his fiancée.

She doesn't mind if Dane Cook makes jokes at her expense

Taylor pre-approved all Cook's material (that related to her) for his stand-up special Dane Cook: Above It All. And she has no issue with the comedian poking fun at their 27-year age difference.

"We have a bit of an age difference, so it's in the show," Cook told E! News. "If we can't laugh at it, then nobody else is allowed."

The Employee of the Month star also has marriage jokes in the bank — and Taylor is fully prepared.

"I was just trying some material out on her the other day where I was like, 'Hey, I think I have maybe my first what it's like to be married joke,'" Cook said. "So, she got the exclusive. We tried it out and she said, 'I approve of that. That's a good one.' "
