Fox shared the exciting news on her Instagram, posting a video of the proposal.\u00a0“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time,” Fox wrote. “Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.
