"He took me to France and made a picnic and me feel happy and free and then he asked me to marry him and I screamed YES," she captioned the images.

"I love you @benshattuck_art, you are the kindest and brightest and I am so grateful and here we go and keep going," Slate continued.

Shattuck, an art curator, also posted photos from the trip and engagement. "In an abandoned castle in southern France, I asked this woman to marry me," he said. "Thank you @jennyslate and UP UP UP to more adventures."

Slate and Shattuck first went public with their relationship in early 2019. Slate was previously married to comedian Dean Fleischer-Camp before their split in May 2016 and dated Captain America star Chris Evans before their split in March 2018.
