The beloved Hallmark actress shared the joyful news on Instagram,
where she posted a heartwarming video of the proposal by her fiancé,
Chris Copier. Set against the stunning backdrop of a desert landscape,
the video captures the touching moment when Chris kneels down, holding out a ring, while Hunter beams with excitement, jumping up and down before joining him on her knees to make the moment even more special. Adding to the joy, her two dogs were present, making this already magical moment even more personal and memorable. In her post, Hunter described it as the “Best day of my life 🤍,” and tagged Chris, adding that she “can’t wait to marry you 💍.”
The engagement announcement sparked an outpouring of love and congratulations from friends, family, and former castmates. Michelle Stafford, who played Hunter’s on-screen mother on **The Young and the Restless**, cheered her on with a supportive “YESSSSSSS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” Hunter’s real-life sister, actress Joey King, shared her excitement with a thrilled, “WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’m so happy for you guys. The sweetest, most wonderful news 🥹🥹🥹.” The celebratory comments didn’t end there—Hunter’s Hallmark co-star Tyler Hynes, with whom she stars in the upcoming holiday movie *Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story*, also shared his enthusiasm, chiming in with “🤍🤍✨✨✨💍💍💍✨✨✨🤍🤍 Yassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.”
For fans wondering who won Hunter’s heart, Chris Copier may not be a household name, but he’s no stranger to the entertainment industry. Working behind the camera as a cameraman and assistant director, Chris has contributed to projects like *Falling for Christmas* with Lindsay Lohan, and even Hunter’s latest Hallmark movie, *Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story*. The couple had the unique opportunity to work together on set, adding an extra layer of meaning to both their relationship and their work.
While Chris prefers to keep a low profile on social media, Hunter has shared glimpses into their relationship that reveal his thoughtfulness and dedication. For example, in a recent birthday post, Hunter praised Chris for going out of his way to make her feel loved and cared for. “The guy who makes matzo ball soup from scratch for me when I’m sick. Who hates tofu but learned how to perfect it anyway because he knows I love it,” she wrote, showing the deep bond they share.
Fans of Hunter King can catch her in *Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story*, where she stars alongside Tyler Hynes. The movie premieres on Saturday, November 30, at 8 p.m. Eastern on the Hallmark Channel. It’s sure to be a treat for fans of Hunter’s work, just as her engagement news is a delight for everyone who has followed her journey since her days on **The Young and the Restless**.
