The "Scream Queens" star and McHugh then celebrated the night at 21 Royal, an exclusive restaurant at the Anaheim theme park where Walt Disney used to host dignitaries and famous celebrities. Stamos decided to propose at the famed resort because his now fiancée is a great fan of Disney.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Stamos shared what made him believe McHugh was the right person for him. "We're a perfect balance," he explained. "I'm like hyper and tense and she's like, 'It's cool man. Everything's fine.'"
Stamos added, "She's so calm and so graceful, which I'm not either of those things. So it's a great balance," he adds. "And she's just a pure, authentic beauty. Like she's not trying to be something she isn't. She doesn't care about money or showbiz."
McHugh and Stamos have been in a relationship since 2016. McHugh has appeared on many TV shows, including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "The Vampire Diaries" and "NCIS: Los Angeles."
His engagement to McHugh means Stamos will have a chance to be a groom for the second time. The TV star was famously married to actress Rebecca Romijn in 1998 until their divorce was finalized in 2005.
