Camryn Grimes is engaged!
On January 7, the Young and the Restlessactress, 32, said “yes” to her partner, Brock Powell’s sweetUp-themed proposal — and PEOPLE has the exclusive photos.
“It was my on my birthday, which I famously hate, and the day was hectic,” Grimes exclusively tells PEOPLE. “All I knew was that there was a dinner that night and so I couldn’t understand why Brock had me running around all day. We ended up running late for dinner and Brock said he had to stop at the house first, we pull up and he grabs our dog Riley and asks me to get out of the car and join him. He escorts me to the backyard which was lit with markets lights and candles and balloons everywhere! Then he got down on one knee and popped the question!”
Powell, a voiceover actor, adds, “There wasn’t just a plan for the proposal, there was a whole theme to the animated movieUpfrom 2009. The movie deeply connected to both Cam and I, especially as two people who were deeply in love and unable to travel and see the world beyond their own house over the last couple years.”

“I knew it was going to happen at some point, I just didn’t know when or how,” says Grimes, who began dating Powell in March 2020. “Luckily for me, Brock is a terrible liar.”
But in the end, the night was magical.
“I think the only thing I could think about was making it perfect for this woman who has brought so much joy into my life. And also making sure I didn’t forget which knee to get down on because I had no idea that there was a proper knee to choose until one hour prior!” he says.

“It is the most comfortable and normal feeling to be engaged to Brock,” says Grimes. “I knew very early on that I wanted to do life with this person, and we have had some crazy things to contend with thus far. Every day we choose each other, so as a team, anything seems possible.”
