The couple had announced their engagement , with proposal photos taken at a nighttime setting in New York City. “The beginning of the rest of our lives together,” Batalon captioned the post.
Leahov would also dedicate an Instagram carousel to the proposal, writing, “A lifetime of us!!!! I never imagined my heart could hold so much love and feel such depth of emotion.”
