Ben Platt celebrated Thanksgiving this year by popping the question.
The star of Netflix’s “The Politician” revealed on Instagram Friday that he and longtime boyfriend Noah Galvin are engaged.
“He agreed to spend forever,” Platt wrote alongside a series of photos of the proposal, which took place at the Laser Wolf restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.
Galvin, a fellow actor and singer, echoed those sentiments on his Instagram account, noting, “I said yes and then cried for like 7 hours.”
One of the images shared by both men shows a close-up of Galvin’s engagement ring, which was designed by Grace Lee and features an emerald-cut diamond.
Galvin, whose credits include “Booksmart” and “The Good Doctor,” first confirmed she was in a relationship with Platt in May 2020.

Interest in the couple’s romance was heightened by their shared professional history. In 2016, Platt starred in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, winning a Tony Award and a Grammy. When he left the hit musical in 2017, Galvin succeeded him.
Appearing on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in 2021, Platt explained that he and Galvin had been “friends for five years” and then started dating just before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The time they share in self-isolation, she noted, has only strengthened their relationship.
In a separate interview with Out magazine that same year, Platt praised Galvin for having “a very unique ability to help me … be present where I am and make everyday life too wonderful to he doesn’t want me to be in gift. reasons for doing so”.
Earlier this month, Platt returned to the New York stage in a production of the musical “Parade” to rave reviews. He can currently be seen in the Amazon Prime comedy The People We Hate at the Wedding opposite Kristen Bell and Allison Janney.
He and Galvin will appear in the upcoming film “Theatre Camp,” a musical comedy they co-wrote.
