“Thank you to @comoclassicboats and @bottega53 for helping my favorite human plan the most incredible, moving surprise of my life. My heart. It bursts.”

“It’s funny. I think when you’re an adult and you understand what mental health is and you know all of the things we have learned, as individuals, you always hear that marriage is work and it’s the best job you’ll ever have, but it requires effort,” Sophia told People about being engaged.

“And we got engaged and I looked around and said, ‘Why didn’t anyone tell me how sweet and pure this would be?’” Sophia added.

“It’s just so sweet and it’s a time that I’m very intentionally cherishing. And you know, more adventures on the horizon.”

“I am deeply aware that joy is not an option for so many around the world in this moment,” Sophia added. “Clinging to gratitude right now because today it is an option for me. I wish this — in whatever version feels true for anyone who might see this — for you. Yes you.”
