Congratulations are in order for one very lucky Days of Our Lives leading lady! AnnaLynne McCord (Cat) is officially off the market and said yes to former professional rugby star Danny Cipriani. As first reported by People, the couple has been keeping things under wraps, given that the proposal took place on Christmas day of 2025. Along with the reveal, Cipriani, who retired from his sport in 2024, presented his love with a 15-carat (yes, 15-carat!) ring.

Of the beautiful moment in their lives, the actress posted a photo with her fiancé, and gave a peek at her ring, and expressed, “See! I knew it was a real thing! I love you so much I have to bite and squeeze you! Danny — and now, you’re stuck with me. “

Many of her castmates jumped into the comment to send their “congrats,” including Greg Rikaart (Leo), Eric Martsolf (Brady), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Stacy Haiduk (Kristen) as Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) shared, “So happy for you my beautiful sweet love.”

McCord and Cipriani’s journey started 10 years ago and through a series of ups and downs, they made their way back to each other. In 2024, the actress opened up to the outlet about their relationship and shared, “We were terrible to each other. For four years, on and off, and we fully went our separate ways. He went into a marriage. We both ended up in a very spiritual journey as a result of what we ended up with next…” Though they ended up friends, that only lasted 48 hours and the rest is history.

We wish the beautiful couple many years of happiness as they begin this new chapter in their lives!
