“A lifetime of us!!!! I never imagined my heart could hold so much love and feel such depth of emotion,” she expressed.



She went on: “This is the purest happiness I’ve ever known, and I can’t wait to spend forever with the love of my life!!💍♾️❤️‍🔥.”

The couple became Instagram official last year, frequently posting clips from their dates and travels on social media. They also shared heartfelt birthday messages for each other.

“You entered my life and showed me what true love really is. To be loved and cared for so deeply is something I will cherish forever. I watch the way you love and care for everyone in your life and it makes my heart explode. Your love completes me, I love everything about you,” Veronica wrote in a birthday post dedicated to Jacob.



Jacob also wrote: “I just want the world to know how unique and special you are, this year is gonna be another amazing year of life! I’m so excited, and I’m looking forward to spending it with you and the rest of our future together.”



Jacob’s engagement comes just two months after rumors surfaced about fellow Spider-Man co-stars and friends Tom Holland and Zendaya’s engagement.

Fans and followers flooded the couple’s comment sections with congratulatory messages.
