Congratulations are in order: Kat Graham is engaged to director and producer Darren Genet!

According to a source, Genet proposed to The Vampire Diaries actress during a vacation in Mexico for his birthday a few weeks ago. Graham's rep confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

Graham, 32, and Genet, 52, have yet to reveal details about the proposal, but the source tells PEOPLE that "Kat is madly in love and couldn't be happier."

The couple began dating in 2017 after they met on set. While Graham has kept her relationship mostly private, the pair have made a few public appearances together.

In December, Graham and Genet posed on the red carpet together at the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra where they honored jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz.

In a conversation with PEOPLE, Graham spoke about sometimes being the only actress of color in a given room. "I think awareness is finally happening. I think that when I stop seeing African American men and women used as tokens, when I start seeing more Asian actors and actresses as leads, as multi-dimensional characters, when I start seeing more Latinx actors, I'll feel better," she said.

"When I start seeing more trans actors and actresses, I'll start feeling more comfortable, but I'm not comfortable saying that I've seen a lot of change," she added. "I've seen things that sometimes feel inauthentic."
