Flash forward to February 2, 2022, and the couple is engaged.
“I never knew happiness could be so powerful that it can take the air from your lungs, overwhelming every part of you that you can’t help but feel your eyes well from the undeniable joy,” Joey revealed via Instagram.
The Emmy Award nominee shared: “I never knew that a person’s presence and heart could feel like a real home.
“I never knew love could be so unquestionably beautiful. I never knew until you.
“The date was 2/2/22 when you asked me to marry you and made me the luckiest lady alive.
“I love you more than an Instagram caption could ever do justice.
“Hanging out with you forever sounds like a real dream, so let’s do it.”
“You’ve unlocked a dimension of love in me that I never knew existed,” Steven said of their engagement.
“The weather was less than perfect. Cold. Windy. Perfectly imperfect to ask my best friend to spend a lifetime together.
“A lifetime of incredibly safe and vulnerable conversations. Holding hands on silent cab rides home, exhausted from great food and red wine. And oh, the laughter. The uncontrollable laughter.”
