Manny Jacinto Has Been With Actress Dianne Doan for Years and Years
THE RUNDOWN: If you're planning to catch Manny Jacinto as Lindsay Lohan's love interest in Freakier Friday (out now), then you might also be curious about Jacinto's romantic life off-screen. Though he's affectionately referred to as 'the internet's boyfriend,' Jacinto belongs to one woman: He's married to the Descendants actress Dianne Doan, and they got engaged in 2019. Here's everything we know about his dating history. Jacinto is married to the actress Dianne Doan, and he proposed to her in November 2019. In an interview with Vulture, he explained how he planned the day they got engaged: 'I took her to places that really meant a lot to us,' he said. 'Where I first met her, where I first saw her, where we had our first date, and where we had our first dance class.' Doan is a Canadian actress most known for the Descendants films, Warrior, and Grey's Anatomy. Back in 2023, she shared how she met Jacinto. '[We] were dancers, and we met in a hip-hop fundamentals training program called Soldiers in Vancouver,' she said. 'He wasn't [even] acting yet.' She didn't mention a year, so it's unclear when they met, but Jacinto's first acting credit was in 2012, so it's safe to say that it was before then. According to People, the couple did get married, though the exact date is unknown. Jacinto said they were planning to have their ceremony in Vancouver in an interview shortly after their engagement. 'We like it out there,' he said. 'A lot of important moments have happened out there, so I think we'd like to keep it within that city because it's very special to us.' Though Jacinto is relatively private about his relationship with Doan, they often make red carpet appearances together. On July 22, they attended the Freakier Friday premiere in Los Angeles. Doan posted a photo dump from the premiere on Instagram. She also brought her sister Annie along, and met Chad Michael Murray. In her caption, she wrote, 'Proud is an understatement🥹 We had such a great time celebrating the premiere of Freakier Friday. Having my sister by my side and meeting CMM made our night! BEST SISTER TRIP YET😝 get ready for a fun time on August 8th!' And on July 31, the couple attended the U.K. premiere of Freakier Friday in London. Aside from Doan, Jacinto has not been publicly linked to anyone else.

Frankfurt sign Japan winger Doan in £17m deal until 2030
EINTRACHT Frankfurt have secured the services of Japan international Ritsu Doan from Bundesliga rivals Freiburg. The 27-year-old winger has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. Frankfurt reportedly paid 20 million euros (£17 million) to acquire the attacking midfielder. Doan leaves Freiburg after making 123 appearances for the club over several seasons. During his time at Freiburg, he contributed 26 goals and 23 assists for the German side. Last season proved particularly productive as he netted 10 times and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga. His performances helped Freiburg secure fifth place and Europa League qualification last term. The Japanese star becomes Frankfurt's second major summer signing after Jonathan Burkardt. His arrival helps compensate for the departure of Hugo Ekitike to Premier League champions Liverpool. Frankfurt sporting director Markus Kroesche expressed his delight at the acquisition. 'In the past few years Ritsu Doan has shown his high quality in the Bundesliga and brings a level of skill which will help us to achieve our goals,' Kroesche said. At international level, Doan has earned 57 caps for Japan, scoring 10 goals for his country. Frankfurt will complete their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Fulham this weekend.

Frankfurt signs Japan winger Ritsu Doan for its Champions League return
GERMANY: Eintracht Frankfurt has signed Japanese winger Ritsu Doan to strengthen a squad depleted by the sale of Hugo Ekitiké as it prepares to return to the Champions League. Doan joins on a five-year contract from fellow German club Freiburg, where he was top scorer with 10 goals as the team placed fifth in the Bundesliga. "I'm very happy and honored to be here," Doan said in a translated video message to Frankfurt fans. "I can't wait to play in front of the supporters." Frankfurt is heading back to the Champions League this season after a third-place Bundesliga finish but will have a new-look attack after striker Ekitiké was sold to Liverpool for a fee of 69 million pounds (USD 93.5 million). The 27-year-old Doan will be expected to team up with another new signing for Ekitiké's center-forward role, ex-Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt. Doan won the Dutch Cup with PSV Eindhoven in 2022 and has played 57 games for the Japanese national team. That includes all of its games at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and a role in securing qualification for next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Doan could make his Frankfurt debut Aug. 17 in a German Cup game against fifth-tier Engers. Frankfurt's first Bundesliga game of the season is six days later at home to Werder Bremen.
