John Stamos gets engaged to longtime girlfriend Caitlin McHugh

We're happy for them but... sigh.

John Stamos is officially off the market and we can’t help but feel a little sad…

The Full House actor, 51, popped the question to his longtime girlfriend Caitlin McHugh, 31, while at Disneyland over the weekend.

“John proposed to his girlfriend Caitlin McHugh on Sunday afternoon at Disneyland,” the actor’s’ rep told E! News.

“He cut together a film of some of the most romantic moments in Disney and Pixar animation. The film concluded with Sebastian from The Little Mermaid encouraging John to ‘Just ask the girl.’ Caitlin said yes, then John whisked her to 21 Royal where they shared the news and celebrated with their families.”

Cute!

Confirming the engagement in an adorable Instagram post, the much-loved actor shared an illustration of himself and his soon-to-be wife in front of the theme park’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

“I asked…she said yes! …And we lived happily ever after,” he captioned the pic.

Of course, fans have taken to social media to mourn the loss of their favourite childhood crush:

Caitlin has appeared on The Vampire Diaries, NCIS: Los Angeles and also starred in the short film, Ingenue-ish, which she co-wrote with John this year.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight back in January, Caitlin opened up about their relationship.

“We like to keep our lives private because we’ve seen what relationships in the public eye can be like and we just like our privacy,” she said. “We don’t want the commentary from the masses about what our relationship is or should be.”

She added: “We’re very happy together and we hope to be so for a long time.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
