Joe Serafini and Frankie Rodriguez, who met while co-starring on Disney+'s "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," announced their engagement on August 7, adding their names to a growing list of celebrity couples who got engaged this year.
The news brought an outpouring of support from their former castmates. Fellow HSMTMTS actor Jordan Fisher was among those to congratulate the pair, while castmate Julia Lester wrote that the two were "literally my favorite ppl on the planet really truly." Co-star Sofia Wylie said she was "SCREAMINGGGG" over the announcement.
A Relationship Built On Set
Serafini and Rodriguez's romance grew alongside their work on the Disney series, which followed a fictional cast of East High students staging their own production of "High School Musical." Their engagement continues a trend of real-life relationships forming among the show's ensemble cast over its multi-season run.
Part of a Big Year for Celebrity Engagements
The couple's news arrives during what's already shaping up to be a packed year for celebrity engagements, following high-profile announcements from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando, and Halle Berry and Van Hunt earlier this year. No wedding date has been announced by Serafini or Rodriguez.
