Jane the Virgin alum Brett Dier is committed to Conor Leslie.
“I CAN MARRY MY BEST FRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!” Dier, 35, captioned an Instagram post on Thursday, January 29. She posted a photo of Leslie, 34, holding her hand in front of her face, showing off her engagement ring.
In a second image, Leslie kissed Dier on the cheek with her left hand resting on her chest. “I’m so lucky,” she commented on the post.
Leslie shared the same two images on her own Instagram.
“I’m getting married to my best friend,” she captioned the snaps. Dier commented: “I can’t wait,” with several red heart emojis.
Leslie made her first appearance on Dier’s Instagram in November 2024. News of their engagement comes more than a month after it was announced that Dier and Leslie will star in the upcoming romantic comedy. In spite of ourselves.
“To say this movie meant a lot to both of us would be the biggest and most obvious understatement,” Leslie captioned an Instagram post last month alongside the announcement.
Dier was previously engaged white lotus star Haley Lu Richardson. They were together for seven years before Richardson, 30, asked Dier to marry her in 2019.
“Neither of us are, like, crazy romantic people, so there was nothing planned,” Richardson recalled during a March 2019 appearance on Busy Tonight, explaining that she and Dier were “eating pizza” when he asked her if he wanted to marry her.
“But yes, we are engaged now,” he added.
After meeting on the set of Ravenswood, Haley Lu Richardson and Brett Dier were real relationship goals before they called it quits.

“I was totally in the moment and this feeling came up and compelled me to ask her to marry me and I did. And she said yes,” she said. “I feel like the trick was to not think about it at all before it happened. I just did it.”
Dier and Richardson it quietly broke up the following year. However, she didn’t reveal her breakup until 2022.
“Hey guys. It’s me and Brett. We actually broke up two years ago. But life goes on and we both exist and we’re doing pretty good,” Richardson captioned a July 2022 Instagram story, posting a selfie of her and Dier. “We shared a deeply special part of our lives together.”
Richardson continued, “I’m so glad I had the last two years to heal and grow without the internet knowing, but we just wanted to share and move on now. Love yourselves! Life is life, kids!”
Dier shared a similar post on his own Instagram later that day.
“We broke up 2 years ago but saw each other today for the first time,” Dier wrote at the time. “We are happy and very grateful for the time we spent together. (For those of you who have been dying to know what happened to us). Haley’s post is better written so go read it! Have a great day!”
