EXCLUSIVE How dancer Kayla Radomski won over Hollywood star Jason Segel as couple confirm engagement
The actor, 45, popped the question to the professional dancer, 34, on Monday, DailyMail.com exclusively reported.
Just days before the proposal, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star accompanied Kayla to an event for luxury skincare brand Cotrini at the Saddle Ranch in Hollywood.
The party was hosted by Scheana Shay and Janet Caperna of Bravo's The Valley and Vanderpump Rules and was attended by various cast members from both shows, making Jason a surprising guest given his much larger celebrity status.
'He was there to support Kayla, who was Scheana's choreographer on The Masked Singer,' a source told DailyMail.com.
While the happy couple made no mention of engagement plans to guests, they were completely inseparable from the time they arrived until they left.
'They were holding hands most of the time and were almost joined at the hip - it's clear that Jason's absolutely smitten with her,' said another source.
'He didn't act like he was too big to hang out with reality stars or anything like that. He was there to support Kayla and was happy to chat to anyone and everyone,' they added.
Another source close to the couple shed some more light on how Kayla was able to win him over.
'Obviously she's beautiful, but he really respects that she's a hard worker and is genuinely talented,' they said.
'He really loves watching her dance and is inspired by how passionate she is about the arts.'
Last year, Kayla starred in the short film Ukrainian Dance Movie, which celebrated the Ukrainian spirit in the face of war.
According to the source, those closest to the couple were completely caught off guard by the engagement.
'We all knew that Jason was head over heels for her, but we didn't expect them to get engaged,' they said.
'Everyone's really happy for them, it was just a big surprise!'
The Shrinking actor proposed to the professional dancer amid a romantic setting at The Huntington Library in Pasadena on Monday evening.
The couple were first linked back in 2023 - and made their red carpet debut together last year during awards season.
A source told DailyMail.com: 'The proposal occurred in the Huntington Library's rose garden, and was captured by a photographer hired by the actor.'
Radomski said 'yes' to Segel and 'the teary-eyed couple enjoyed a private dinner together in the Huntington Library's rose garden' afterwards.
Both Jason and Kayla also took time to express their gratitude towards employees who had helped set up for the big moment.
Kayla officially confirmed the engagement news on Wednesday when she posted photos of the happy moment to Instagram.
'Forever yes!' she gushed in the caption.
The lovebirds were first romantically linked in October 2023 when they were spotted during Hollywood Horror Nights at Universal Studios.
At the time, they were seen holding hands as they strolled through the crowded amusement park.
In early 2024, Segel and Radomski made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globe Awards as she cheered on the actor who was nominated for his role in Shrinking.
The two cozied up together at the event as they paused for a brief photo session before the main ceremony kicked off.
At the time, the actress had also jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from the night - and also penned a sweet tribute to Segel.
'WOW..... @jasonsegel I am so incredibly proud of you!!!! What a dream. You are absolutely one of the hardest working and most deserving humans on this planet. My Golden Globe Nominee!'
She added, 'I love that we got to spend a whole day celebrating YOU and your talent!!! I love you so much baby!'

The same month, the couple walked the red carpet once again as they made an appearance at the 2024 Emmys.
On social media, Kayla gushed that she is 'always amazed watching your drive and love for what you do. You inspire me every single day.'
She continued, 'I cannot wait to continue to watch you thrive and create more magic throughout your life. Thank you for loving me and being the best man this lady could dream up. I love you.'
Despite their few red carpet appearances, Segel and Radomski mainly keep their romance out of the spotlight.
On a couple occasions, the dancer has uploaded sweet selfies of the couple as they spend quality time together.
Last year in April, the pair showed off their toned figures as they whisked themselves away for a tropical vacation.
And later that year in November, the lovebirds cozied up together for another photo as they bundled up in the cold weather.
In the caption, the beauty penned, 'FULL OF LOVE,' alongside red heart emojis.
While it is not known when exactly the pair struck up a romance or first met, Kayla is no stranger to the entertainment industry.
She starred in the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance back in 2009 - and came in fourth place.
Radomski is also a former backup dancer for Taylor Swift, and joined the Grammy winner as well as Bredon Urie for their performance of ME! at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
On the big screen, she has also had the chance to showcase her dance skills - such as the 2024 short film Ukrainian Dance Movie.
And in 2019, she made a brief appearance in Quentin Tarantino's movie Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. In one scene, she could be seen dancing next to Leonardo DiCaprio.
Segel is also known for his successful career which kicked off when he starred in the short-lived series Freaks And Geeks.
He then played Marshall Eriksen on the beloved show How I Met Your Mother from 2005 through 2014.
Jason has also starred in films such as Knocked Up (2007), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Despicable Me (2010) and Bad Teacher (2011).
The actor is currently working on the Apple TV+ series Shrinking alongside Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie and Christa Miller. The show has been renewed for a third season.
Segel previously dated his Freaks And Geeks co-star Linda Cardellini after the show was canceled following one season.
He has also been in relationships with Michelle Williams and photographer Alexis Mixter before beginning a romance with Radomski.

Who should play Elon Musk in 'Artificial'? As Andrew Garfield is cast as Sam Altman, AI reveals the actors who could take on the role as the Tesla billionaire
It's one of the most eagerly anticipated movies in Hollywood, starring Andrew Garfield as the notorious OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. But as hype around 'Artificial' builds, one key question remains – who is brave enough to take on the role of Elon Musk? Several names have already been floated, including comedic actor, Ike Barinholtz. However, it seems that AI – one of the key themes of the film – has other ideas. MailOnline asked ChatGPT which actors it thought would be able to tackle the role of the Tesla billionaire. According to the bot, the actor would need to 'pull off three things at once' – Musk's look, mannerisms, and energy. The leading contender for the role? Joseph Gordon–Levitt. 'Joseph Gordon–Levitt — adaptable, could nail the thoughtful–yet–offbeat vibe,' ChatGPT explained. MailOnline asked ChatGPT which actors it thought would be able to take on the role as the Tesla billionaire Artificial will be directed by Luca Guadagnino, and is loosely based on the drama behind the scenes at OpenAI. In 2023, Sam Altman was famously fired due to a loss of confidence from the board, before being rehired just five days later. Musk co–founded the company with Altman in 2015, but left in 2018 – and has been very vocal in his distain for his co–founder ever since. So far, several high–profile celebrities have been confirmed for the film, which is yet to have a release date. Andrew Garfield will star as Altman, while Monica Barbaro will play Mira Murati, the former Interim OpenAI CEO. Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Billie Lourd, and Chris O'Dowd also join the list, although their roles remain unclear. As for the part of Musk, ChatGPT explained that the actor will need to match the billionaire's look (tall, slightly angular face, intense eyes), mannerisms (mix of awkward pauses, blunt delivery, and bursts of enthusiasm), and energy (restless ambition, a bit of chaos, and occasional deadpan humor). Based on that rationale, the bot has put forward six potential actors. The AI bot has put forward six potential actors to play Elon Musk – including Nicholas Hoult and Cillian Murphy ChatGPT explained that the actor will need to match the billionaire's look (tall, slightly angular face, intense eyes), mannerisms (mix of awkward pauses, blunt delivery, and bursts of enthusiasm), and energy (restless ambition, a bit of chaos, and occasional deadpan humor) Alongside Joseph Gordon–Levitt, the AI bot suggests that Sherlock star, Benedict Cumberbatch, could have what it takes. He has 'proven range with eccentric geniuses, and could tweak his voice to match Musk's cadence,' ChatGPT explained. Oscar winner Rami Malek, who has previously played Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, is also a strong contender. He 'excels at portraying enigmatic, hyper–focused characters,' the bot explained. Skins star, Nicholas Hoult 'can do both awkward charm and intense ambition,' ChatGPT adds, while Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy 'would bring a quieter, more calculating take on Musk'. Finally, ChatGPT has included a wild card – Adam Driver. 'If Hollywood wanted a slightly satirical version, Adam Driver could absolutely crush it,' the bot added. Elon Musk wants to push technology to its absolute limit, from space travel to self-driving cars — but he draws the line at artificial intelligence. The billionaire first shared his distaste for AI in 2014, calling it humanity's 'biggest existential threat' and comparing it to 'summoning the demon.' At the time, Musk also revealed he was investing in AI companies not to make money but to keep an eye on the technology in case it gets out of hand. His main fear is that in the wrong hands, if AI becomes advanced, it could overtake humans and spell the end of mankind, which is known as The Singularity. That concern is shared among many brilliant minds, including the late Stephen Hawking, who told the BBC in 2014: 'The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. 'It would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate.' Despite his fear of AI, Musk has invested in the San Francisco-based AI group Vicarious, in DeepMind, which has since been acquired by Google, and OpenAI, creating the popular ChatGPT program that has taken the world by storm in recent months. During a 2016 interview, Musk noted that he and OpenAI created the company to 'have democratisation of AI technology to make it widely available.' Musk founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, the company's CEO, but in 2018 the billionaire attempted to take control of the start-up. His request was rejected, forcing him to quit OpenAI and move on with his other projects. In November, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, which became an instant success worldwide. The chatbot uses 'large language model' software to train itself by scouring a massive amount of text data so it can learn to generate eerily human-like text in response to a given prompt. ChatGPT is used to write research papers, books, news articles, emails and more. But while Altman is basking in its glory, Musk is attacking ChatGPT. He says the AI is 'woke' and deviates from OpenAI's original non-profit mission. 'OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it 'Open' AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft, Musk tweeted in February. The Singularity is making waves worldwide as artificial intelligence advances in ways only seen in science fiction - but what does it actually mean? In simple terms, it describes a hypothetical future where technology surpasses human intelligence and changes the path of our evolution. Experts have said that once AI reaches this point, it will be able to innovate much faster than humans. There are two ways the advancement could play out, with the first leading to humans and machines working together to create a world better suited for humanity. For example, humans could scan their consciousness and store it in a computer in which they will live forever. The second scenario is that AI becomes more powerful than humans, taking control and making humans its slaves - but if this is true, it is far off in the distant future. Researchers are now looking for signs of AI reaching The Singularity, such as the technology's ability to translate speech with the accuracy of a human and perform tasks faster. Former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil predicts it will be reached by 2045.

I had 3 kids under 2 – everyone's baffled when I tell them… it was a shock to me too, but was down to a simple mistake
A MUM who had three kids under the age of two has revealed people are always baffled when she tells them. Nicole took to her TikTok page to explain her unusual situation, which occurred when she fell pregnant with twins when her daughter was 11 months old. 6 6 6 6 And in the video, she admitted the pregnancy was a "huge shock", and happened when she made a very easy error. "I actually didn't pick up my pill prescription from the doctors for like five days, and then just started taking it and thought I'd be all right," she said. "We'd actually decided that we only wanted to have one child together, because he already had a five-year-old." Nicole continued to say her "life was blissful" when her daughter was born, and she and her other half were "really in that bubble" thanks to their little girl being a "happy, easy baby". So when she started to get pregnancy symptoms when her daughter was 11 months old, she took a test, and discovered she was expecting again. For the first scan, Nicole's husband couldn't make it, so she took her mum. Laying down ready for the scan, she was chatting to the sonographer and said that she could already feel the baby moving - to which the pro insisted it was "wind", unless she had "more than one baby" in there. The scan then began, with the sonographer telling Nicole she was "right". "I thought she was joking!" When she realised that she wasn't joking, and she was actually pregnant with twins, Nicole went into "full panic mode" and burst into tears. Jesy Nelson breaks silence on twins' life-saving surgery in first TV interview The situation was made even more emotional by the fact that her husband was an identical twin, but he tragically lost his brother aged 20. And the drama continued thanks to the fact that her twins shared one placenta - meaning the pregnancy was high risk, and she had to have scans at hospital every two weeks. "Then they decided to come at 10 and a half weeks early. So they were born at 29 weeks!" she concluded. The comments section on the video was somewhat surprisingly filled with other mums saying they'd found themselves in very similar situations. "I'm so similar, I fell pregnant when my son was 11 months and had identical twin girls at 29 weeks too," one wrote. "For 10 days I had 3 under 18 months." What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. "This happened to me!" another said. "But all 3 of mine were in the same school year my daughter was the oldest in the year and my boys were the youngest in the year!!!" "Same story for us, when my first boy was 8 months old I became pregnant with identical twin boys," a third admitted. "My eldest was exactly 1/5 years when they were born! Wild ride ever since haha!" "This happened to me," someone else said. "My daughter was 8 months - the twins were born when she was 16 months." 6 6

NYPD officer caught in embarrassing act on live TV during Yankees-Twins with fans ‘breaking out in tears'
A POLICE officer is going viral after getting caught on live TV. During the New York Yankees game on Monday, a NYPD officer was picked up on YES Network cameras. 2 2 In the first inning, a woman walked past the cop and appeared to catch his attention. He looked at her from behind as she walked past him. The moment instantly went viral on social media and fans couldn't help but laugh at the officer. "He about to risk the pension," one fan said.

MLB legend Derek Jeter opens up on former Yankees teammate CC Sabathia's Hall of Fame induction After a five-game losing streak, the Yankees have won four of their last six games. They are also going for a sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. They won the first two games of the three-game series 15-3. "Frankly, the offense is the least of our concerns," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Tuesday's win. MLB All-Star Game Starters 2025 Here are the All-Star teams for the American League and National League at the Midsummer Classic on July 15 at Atlanta's Truist Park, voted on by the fans.

"We got a couple of guys struggling right now, but I think we have a handful of guys that are really swinging the bats well. "I fully expect our offense to be one of our calling cards and something that should carry us." The Yankees currently hold the third wildcard spot in the American League.
