Ross, 41, revealed the great news on social media on Tuesday morning: "Fiancé, you stay!

"I am so proud to announce that after over a year together – navigating a pandemic, quarantine, and opposite coasts – the smartest, funniest and kindest man I’ve ever met said, 'Yes!'

"Dr. García, I love you. A lifetime of adventure awaits."

The mysterious Dr. Garcia only made an Instagram account a few days ago and made a few group appearances on Ross' Instagram without being tagged.

This is the first time that Ross publicly announced he was dating someone.

Before his engagement, Ross had been with Salvador Camarena for 10 years and then had a short love stint with Ryan Fogerty.

Back in 2018, Ross announced he and Salvador had ended things.

He shared: "After nearly ten years together, Salvador and I have decided that the time has come to part ways.

"This split is amicable and filled with kindness, compassion and a genuine love for one another.

"As we go forward, each of us feels as if he has a cheerleader in our corner - a family member for life.

"We are happy. Thank you all for your well wishes and love."

In 2019, Ross had talked to Attitude Magazine about dating as he hit 40 and said: "I’m fascinated by how many interesting people there are in the world.

"I know it sounds stupid but I have never done this active dating thing and I’m shocked at the calibre of people I’ve been meeting.

"I think that has to do with confidence because let’s be frank here, I do not have a six pack, unless it’s a six pack of wine coolers."
