Frankie Grande has got engaged

The 38-year-old Broadway star had initially told his partner they were meeting up with friends to celebrate the upcoming 4th anniversary of his sobriety, but had secretly worked with the venue - which was the site of one of the couple's first dates - to create a custom ending to the VR experience, complete with virtual fireworks and a "Will you marry me?" message.

Frankie - who has been dating the actor for two years - revealed he'd spent more than 12 months planning the proposal.

He told People magazine: "It was such a perfect, beautiful moment. Hale was completely surprised and we both started crying tears of joy. I have been working on proposing to him in virtual reality for over a year and it was ABSOLUTELY breathtaking for us both.

"I can't wait for everyone to see the video! Omg! We are so happy!"

Frankie and Hale met at a line dancing bar in 2019 and the 'Rainbowthon' host previously joked it was "love at first dance" between them.

He previously said: "I randomly ended up going to this bar Oil Can Harry's in the Valley and I saw Hale he was dancing on the stage.

"He was performing for everybody. He loves to go to Oil Can Harry's he knew all the dances, I was blown away.

"It was definitely love at first dance. I chased him down to meet him afterwards but he disappeared to fix his hair."

The actor has been a hit with Frankie's family, in particular with his grandmother, who can be hard to impress.

He said: "Nonna really loved him and paraded him around her retirement home, [showing us off] as the new hip gay couple visiting.

"It was so cool, I didn't know if they would be hip to that, but it was really adorable."
