A representative for Mendes confirmed to PEOPLE that Mancuso popped the question to the actress on Friday. According to a source, the proposal was a complete surprise for Camila. “She thought she was going to a birthday party for producing partner Rachel Matthews, but it was actually a surprise engagement party,” the insider revealed. “Rudy proposed to her in front of their family and friends," added the source. The celebrations didn’t stop there. After the emotional proposal, the newly engaged couple joined actor Glen Powell’s tracksuit-and-tequila-themed birthday bash at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Mendes proudly showed off her sparkling diamond ring on a sleek silver band as she and Rudy walked in hand in hand, beaming with joy. The Do Revenge actress looked chic in a blue cropped vest and matching pants, while Rudy kept it casual in a beige sweater and black trousers.

Sparks flew instantly during Mendes’ screen test, and their chemistry soon carried over into real life. The couple confirmed their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2023, when Camila captioned a sweet photo, “Meu valentine. Te amo so much.”Stay tuned!
