EXCLUSIVE How dancer Kayla Radomski won over Hollywood star Jason Segel as couple confirm engagement
Jason Segel 'has never been happier' after proposing to his girlfriend of two years, Kayla Radomski.
The actor, 45, popped the question to the professional dancer, 34, on Monday, 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
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 '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.
