Richard Harmon and Sarah Dugdale are taking the next step in their love story. The Hollow co-stars announced on Monday that they are engaged, sharing the joyful news with a carousel of loved-up photos on Instagram after two years together.
The first image captured the romantic moment Richard kissed his fiancée on the cheek as the Virgin River star beamed at the camera while proudly showing off her sparkling engagement ring.
Another snap saw the pair smiling as they held heart-shaped treats, while a third featured them dressed in coordinating bohemian-inspired outfits. The carousel also included a sun-soaked holiday photo of Sarah overlooking the water.
Set to Bonny Light Horseman’s song Deep in Love, the couple simply captioned the post: “Forever date your mate.”
From friendship to forever
Although Richard and Sarah first worked together on The Hollow in 2015, romance didn’t blossom until years later.
The couple went public with their relationship in April 2024 and have regularly shared glimpses of their life together ever since.

Sarah was equally smitten, later describing Richard as “the love of my life” and saying: “Loving this man is pretty sweet.”
Just months ago, she called herself “lucky” to be in a relationship with the actor in another affectionate social media post.
