Bella Thorne got engaged to her fiancé, Mark Emms, in May 2023. The announcement was also shared by Vogue Weddings on Instagram, highlighting the couple’s exciting news with the caption:

"@bellathorne is engaged! The actress and director has found love with entrepreneur Mark Emms, the producer behind #BadVegan and the co-owner of New York City hotspot the @themulberrybar."

The couple first met in 2022 at model Cara Delevingne's birthday party held in Ibiza, according to Vogue.

Mark Emms proposed to the Midnight Sun actress with an emerald-cut diamond ring.

Before getting engaged to Emms, Thorne was engaged to Italian singer and actor Benjamin Mascolo. The ex-couple announced their engagement in March 2021. However, Thorne and Mascolo parted ways over a year later, according to a source statement to PEOPLE.

Emms's proposal to Thorne came almost nine months after they first met. Sharing her excitement, she told People at that time:

"It's really like, ‘Oh wow, we're really, you're my partner.’ Let's do this together. So that kind of becomes more real every day, and kind of solidifies our partnership more and more every day."
