90210 alum Annalynne McCord revealed that she is engaged to longtime love Danny Cipriani after the rugby star proposed on Christmas Day 2025.
“I cried for 10 minutes straight,” McCord, 38, told People in an interview published on Saturday, April 11. “In some unspecified time in the future, I noticed I had to reply. I said, ‘Yes, but I can’t even speak,’ and he replied, ‘That’s okay, it’s actually a great sign that you simply are quiet for once.’ Then, we’re all laughing.”
McCord told the outlet that she was actually considering proposing to the athlete late last yr, but her sisters “strongly discouraged” her from taking that step on the time.
“It occurred to me that I should just propose to him and I told my sisters. Each really questioned this alternative, they usually strongly discouraged it,” she recalled. “I made a decision to inform him that was my plan, but then the look on his face convinced me to not, and he fessed up and told me he had plans to propose to me on our upcoming trip to Cambodia.”
Cipriani’s proposal plans ultimately modified. On Christmas Day, he encouraged McCord to hitch the entire family for a movie and he or she went off to get modified.
“I come downstairs and there are rose petals all over the place and a rose petal heart,” she revealed. “Danny, down on one knee with a hoop, waiting for me to step into the guts.”
Cipriani proposed at McCord’s Los Angeles home with a 15-carat, emerald-cut diamond with seven round accent diamonds set within the band. He also arranged for her family and friends to observe the proposal over Zoom.
Us Weekly exclusively revealed in May 2024 that McCord and Cipriani were officially back together. The 2 originally began dating in 2016, but went their separate ways 4 years later.
“I wasn’t in search of it in any respect. It type of found me,” she told Us about her feelings for Cipriani. “It’s probably the most unlikely situation ever because I used to be with this person on and off for 4 years, and we were two shadows matching the shadow of the opposite person.”

The 2 reconnected “as friends” just a few years after splitting, with love blossoming once more.
“Now we’re together and it’s latest, but we’re each showing up for ourselves in life,” she explained. “And since we are able to show up for ourselves, we’re matching one another on every level and we’re having painful conversations of where we were, because they’re honest they usually’re real and I wouldn’t want the rest.”
Prior to her relationship with Cipriani, McCord dated Twilight’s Kellan Lutz from 2008 to 2010 and later was with Prison Break star Dominic Purcell from 2011 to 2014. (Lutz, 41, married Brittany Gonzales in 2017 they usually share two children: daughter Ashtyn Lilly, 5, and son Kasen Lane, 3. Purcell, 56, has been married to Tish Cyrus since 2023.)
