Soap star Chrishell Stause took to social media on Sunday to announce an exciting development in her life. The actress made known her engagement to The Young and the Restless costar Justin Hartley.

Make sure to wear your sunglasses lest you be blinded by the gleam from the ring Hartley got the actress! She posted a pic of it on Instagram against the backdrop of her toned and tanned leg! The caption coyly asked, “Do you think I need sunscreen?”

This real-life soap supercouple publicly confirmed their romance in January 2014, reported Soap Opera Digest. Since then, fans have followed pictures and text tidbits on social media that documented their progressing relationship. Stause’s ring pic is the latest aspect in their pairing’s public face.

Stause gained a legion of fervent followers in her seven-year run as Amanda Dillon Martin on All My Children. Hartley first wowed daytime fans as Fox Crane on Passions. In 2014 he took over the central role of Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. He replaced controversial but wildly popular actor Michael Muhney in that role. Hartley made Adam unmistakably his, with his gripping portrayal of the troubled, tough Newman heir.

The Young and the Restless cast Stause as saucy troublemaker Bethany Bryant earlier this year. Many fans love when soap stars have a real-life romance. When they get to work on the same show, it’s even more exciting. The couple hasn’t announced a wedding date yet, so check back with We Love Soaps for updates on this story.
