Kat Graham will be walking down the aisle soon.

In May 2022, PEOPLE confirmed that the Vampire Diaries alum is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Darren Genet.

The two quietly got engaged during a vacation in Mexico for Genet's birthday, with a source telling PEOPLE at the time that "Kat is madly in love and couldn't be happier."

The couple first started dating in 2017, but have kept their relationship fairly private ever since, only posting a few photos together on social media over the years.

The two made their red carpet debut at the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in December 2021, where they honored jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz.

From the way Genet met Graham to the countless TV projects he's worked on, here's everything to know about the actress' fiancé.
