Rydell announced the couple's engagement on his Instagram in June. "???She said YES!! (Actually she said “Duhhh”) But I guess that’s even better than yes?!? ??????" he wrote. He shared a recent video of him and Lourd in the post on the third slide, featuring her during her pregnancy:
Lourd posted minimally on her Instagram throughout her pregnancy, usually sharing throwback photos, ensuring she could keep the time to herself. She regularly posted about her fiancé, writing on his birthday in April, "???Happy birthday to my #quaranteenagedream @avstenrydell #iloveyouisanunderstatement !!! ?❤️????????????"
For his birthday in April 2019, she called him the love of her life. "❤️?❤️ Happy birthday to the love of m’life! You make all of our adventures feel like home. Iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou," she wrote.
