Actor Dexter Darden shared the exciting news of his engagement to girlfriend, Briah Nelson, on social media.
On December 9, 2024, the Maze Runner alum shared the special milestone on his Instagram stories, posting some snapshots and heartfelt clips from the fairytale proposal.
Captured by friends and family, the proposal took place in the backyard of Dexter’s home. A pathway lined with red and blush pink rose petals led to a heart-shaped arch made entirely of red and white roses, complete with a neon sign that read: “Will You Marry Me?”
The couple exuded a ‘twin flames’ vibe in their perfectly coordinated outfits. Dexter looked dashing in a simple white ribbed sweater paired with fitted rustic brown trousers, while his now-fiancée looked elegant in a white turtleneck and oversized rustic brown leather pants.
In the video, Darden dropped to one knee, presenting a wooden ring box that revealed a stunning diamond ring. Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, Briah covered her face as Dexter gently slid the ring onto her finger.
The newly engaged couple celebrated with pure excitement—Dexter threw his arms triumphantly in the air, while Briah shook her hands in joyous disbelief, repeatedly glancing at her ring as she soaked in the magical moment.
Briah & Dexter Thank Loved Ones For Supporting Their Thriving Relationship
Soon after the proposal, actor Iman Crosson, a close friend of Dexter and a guest at the couple’s engagement ceremony, shared a now-deleted heartfelt video clip on his Instagram story.
The video featured the soon-to-be-married couple expressing their heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering love and support from their family and friends. Briah began with an emotional message, saying,
“It has been such a ride this past year and a half in the best way. And I am so grateful for not only this man but for all of you, because if it wasn’t for all of you, I feel like this wouldn’t be possible.”
However, overwhelmed with emotion, Briah paused. Dexter then stepped in, concluding their sentiments by adding,
“Everyone here has played a part in this union, in some way, shape or form, and it’s held us up through every trial and tribulation”.
Dexter Darden and Briah Nelson have generally kept the details of their relationship private, including when and how they first met and started dating. However, based on Briah’s recent speech, it seems the couple began their romantic journey sometime in early 2023.
