Them, in a joint Instagram post, Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser confirmed that not only are they dating — they're engaged!

"This is such a special moment in our lives, the closing of one chapter and celebrating the continuation of another."

They went on to add, "We’re so grateful for the love and support, and though we’re partial to having our private moments, we’re excited to share this check-in to our world."

Over the years, Tanner and Mary have always had a close bond off-screen, but ensured fans over and over that they are just friends, like when Mary called Tanner her "bestie" in his IG post celebrating the release of He's All That:

Or when she called him her "bestest buddy" in this birthday shout-out:

In an interview with Entertainment Now in 2021, Mary claimed that kissing Tanner on-screen was pretty stressful. "For season 1, I know I was looking at Xolo [Maridueña] and I was like, ‘Dude, we’re friends, we’re going to kiss at some point it won’t be weird and it’ll be over,'" she recalled. "And with Tanner it was, like, we have multiple kiss scenes.”

Tanner expressed a similar sentiment the year before while chatting with Interview, saying, "The romantic scenes are what cause me the most anxiety. You could talk to Mary [Mouser] about this because she and I are such good friends. When we had our first kiss scene in season 2, they were asking us, 'Are you ready?' My heart was pounding, I was shaking. It just feels weird to go to that place, because we’re such good friends."

Welp, seems they don't mind kissing now! We love a friends to lovers trope.
