Manny Jacinto, 32, and Dianne Doan, 29, are officially engaged! The Good Place star, who plays Jason Mendoza on the award winning sitcom, revealed the exciting news while attending a panel alongside his Good Place co-stars D’Arcy Carden and Marc Evan Jackson at Vulture Festival 2019 on Nov. 9. “I was toying when to pop the question for a long time,” Jacinto explained to Vulture. “I looked at the Janet/Jason relationship, and there’s a sentence that Jason [Manny] says to Chidi [William Jackson Harper] about relationships and it hit me pretty hard. I thought it was a sign that I needed to do it, and a week later I popped the question.”
Manny’s proposal was truly a romantic trip down memory lane for the longtime couple. The actor shared that he took Dianne to a number of landmarks and places that were pivotal to their relationship. “I took her to places that really meant a lot to us,” he shared. “Where I first met her, where I first saw her, where we had our first date, and where we had our first dance class.”
Of course, it wasn’t only visiting these spots that were a part of Manny’s proposal plan. “I had these canvas things written down with a message saying why the places were important to us,” he revealed. “At every location I had her close her eyes, I’d hold up the canvas, and she would open her eyes. I took her through five different places, and at the last place I had our families waiting and I proposed.” We can’t help but think these two are living in the good place right now! Congrats to the happy couple!
