A Bahamas connection
The engagement appears to have taken place in the Bahamas, where Nacon and Jimenez had recently attended Litz's wedding together on 23 May. The couple were first linked in 2021.
Life after The Walking Dead
Nacon is best known for portraying Enid across Seasons 5 to 9 of The Walking Dead, a role that came to an end in one of the show's most shocking death scenes.
Reflecting on her final day on set, Nacon previously described it as "a long day" that she nonetheless looks back on fondly.
"We went in very early to get makeup done and everything so that we could kind of get a visual or video of our faces to kind of imprint on the head. And then we took that all off and got ready to spend our last moments fighting together.
"It was a lot of fun and we got to say our goodbyes and everything. Honestly, for a last day, I had a great time. It was a lot of fooling around and joking, like it is every day," she shared.
