Harmon, known for his role in The 100, and Dugdale, who stars in Virgin River, have been together since December 2023. Their journey began over ten years ago when they first met during the filming of the horror movie The Hollow in 2015. However, it wasn’t until late 2023 that they transitioned from friends to romantic partners.
In their joint announcement, Dugdale expressed her affection in the caption, stating, “Forever date your mate ❤️.” Accompanied by a series of affectionate photos, the post showcased moments from their relationship, including a sweet photograph where Harmon is seen kissing Dugdale’s cheek while she proudly displays her diamond engagement ring.
To further set the tone of the celebration, the couple set their post to Bonny Light Horseman’s song “Deep in Love,” which underscores the romantic nature of their announcement. Additionally, Dugdale shared the engagement photos on her Instagram Stories, ensuring the joyful news reached a wide audience.
Friends and co-stars of both actors flooded the comments section with congratulatory messages. Notable figures from Harmon’s The 100 cast, including Eliza Taylor and Alycia Debnam-Carey, alongside Dugdale’s Virgin River cast members, such as Alexandra Breckenridge and Kandyse McClure, chimed in with their well wishes. Taylor’s comment, “Awwwww this is THE BEST NEWS!!! Congrats you two ❤️🙌🔥,” encapsulated the excitement surrounding the couple’s engagement.
The pair made their relationship Instagram official in 2024. In April of that year, Dugdale shared a captivating photo where the couple gazes lovingly at each other, captioned simply with “Happy ❤️.” Shortly after, Harmon also publicised his affections, expressing his gratitude for their friendship and hinting at their evolving romance.
Since then, the couple has not shied away from sharing snippets of their life together on social media, allowing fans a glimpse into their relationship. Dugdale has openly celebrated her partner, with her beautiful sentiments including a declaration that Harmon is “the whole enchilada” and her “sweet menace.” She referred to him affectionately as “the love of [her] life,” showcasing an undeniable bond between the two.
Earlier this year, Dugdale reflected on her luck in finding love with Harmon, stating, “You’re the person who unquestionably is the most equipped to live this life with me. I love you so much,” a sentiment echoed by Harmon when he expressed his feelings in a June 2025 post. Their mutual admiration and affection are evident in the way they communicate about one another, often using creative and loving nicknames.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter in their lives, fans are eager to see how their relationship continues to evolve. With Harmon marking two years since they began dating in December 2023, and still referring to Dugdale as his “dreamboat,” their journey together is filled with warmth and genuine love.
The engagement not only brings excitement for the couple but also for the community of fans who have watched them grow together over the years.
