Huge congratulations!

Supergirl’s Melissa Benoit announced she has gotten engaged to her former co-star, Chris Wood.

The 30-year-old shared an adorable photo of the two of them sitting in front of a fireplace, with Wood leaning over to kiss her on the cheek.

It also shows off her stunning engagement ring, which was designed by Jennifer Meyer.

She captioned the photo: “Yes, yes, yes – it will always be yes.”

The former Vampire Diaries star shared the same image on his own Instagram account, simply captioning it “the happiest.”

He followed that up with a throwback shot of the two of them dressed to the nines, grinning as they stood against a backdrop of fall leaves.

He wrote:

“Not from our wedding BUT IT WILL BE SOON.”

The couple first met on the set of the CW’s Supergirl, where Benoist has played Kara Zor‑El (aka: the title character) since 2015.

Wood joined the series as Mon-El, her on-screen love interest , in 2016.

According to E! News, the pari first sparked rumours of a romance when they were spotted on holiday in Cancun in March 2017.

Benoist was previously married to her Glee co-star, Blake Jenner. The pair wed in 2013, before the actress filed for divorce in late 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their divorce was finalised in December 2017.
