\n\t\t\tMany stars are taking their relationships to the next level in 2024 by getting engaged. Less than one month after Bachelor in Paradise season 9 alum Brayden Bowers revealed that he was dating fellow Bachelor Nation personality Christina Mandrell, he proposed. \u201cI just knew that there was something special, and there was something different, and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Peck has been a principal at New York City Ballet since 2009 after initially joining the company as an apprentice in 2004. Mejia, for his part, has been with the company since 2017 and was promoted to principal in 2023.<\/p>\n

The couple began their relationship as dancer partners and quarantined together during the COVID pandemic. \u201cRoman is not only my favorite dancing partner of all time, but now I get to have him as my forever partner in everything,\u201d Peck told People<\/em><\/a> in an interview published on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, Mejia popped the question on Sunday, September 15, after the two enjoyed a dinner date at Mandarin Oriental. Their families were in on the surprise, with Mejia\u2019s mother watching their dog Cali while they were out. (Peck\u2019s father, Stephen<\/strong>, died last fall at age 76.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI truly feel like I found my person,\u201d Peck gushed. \u201cRoman is kind and gentle but knows who he is. From the moment I met him, I saw so many of the special qualities within him that my dad had. I have never felt so sure about making a decision as getting to say \u2018yes\u2019 to him. I feel very lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n
