Justin shared how his proposal naturally happened.
“I did have a special thing planned around [Kate’s] birthday and about a month before that, life, like we were talking about, things change, and sometimes they change pretty drastically without any warnings,” the 44-year-old Live Free or Die Hard actor said.
“It was a moment where it just felt so organic and it felt connected to something very, very deeply, profoundly personal that we were going through, like, a real life change, and so it came out in a very organic way,” Justin shared.
“We had just gone through this really hard thing and we had spoken to a therapist and we were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice which was: ‘Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need, or asking the other what they need,’” the 40-year-old Blue Crush actress said of the months leading up to the proposal.
“I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin and I said … I smiled at you, and I said, ‘What do you need?’ And he, like, really looked at me and he said, ‘To spend my life with you.’ And I smiled and I said, ‘Well, yeah, you have that. Oh my gosh, you have that,’ and he said, ‘No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you,’” Kate said.
“It was the easiest … the words just came out, like, so naturally,” Justin added.
The pair first spent time together in 2021 while filming House of Darkness in Arkansas.
Kate sparked engagement rumors by wearing a ring on her ring finger on the red carpet at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Kate and Michael Polish recently finalized their divorce, agreeing to split their properties, with her keeping one in Montana and another in Pasadena.
