Last Saturday, former Disney Channel actress Miranda May publicly announced her engagement to her boyfriend Drew following a two-year courtship. The 29-year-old bride-to-be, who commands an impressive following of 2.4 million across Instagram and TikTok, joyfully declared: 'Went to Key West a girlfriend and left a fiancée!'
Seaside Proposal at Florida Resort
The romantic seaside proposal appears to have taken place at Florida's picturesque Southernmost Beach Resort, based on photobooth vacation snapshots shared by the couple. May and her bearded groom-to-be, whose full identity remains private, had previously demonstrated their commitment by adopting a terrier dog named Fletch on October 11.
Relationship Timeline and Social Media Reveals
The standup comedian and Drew made their relationship Instagram official in April 2024, though May did not disclose his first name publicly until a June 25 TikTok post. Their engagement marks a significant milestone in their evolving romance.
Flood of Congratulations from Former Co-Stars
May received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from numerous former Bunk'd castmates. Peyton List, who portrayed Emma Ross, wrote: 'Congratulations Miranda! So happy for you!' to which May responded: 'Thank you Pey.'
Will Buie Jr., known for his role as Finn Sawyer, enthusiastically commented in all caps: 'Yayayaya!' while Nina Lu, who played Tiffany in the first two seasons, similarly expressed: 'Congrats!' in capital letters.
Additional well-wishes came from Mallory James Mahoney (Destiny Baker), who wrote: 'Congratulations, so happy for you! Wishing you both all the happiness!' Israel Johnson (Noah Lambert) posted a star emoji with 'Congratulations!' and Scarlett Estevez (Gwen Flores) shared three red heart emojis alongside 'Congrats!'
The actress was further congratulated by Bunk'd alumni Trevor Flanagan-Tordjman, Tessa Netting, Jordan Clark, and Rico Rodriguez, as well as her former Liv and Maddie castmate Shelby Wulfert.
Career Background and Upcoming Milestones
The Ohio-born, Florida-based entertainer originally made her acting debut at age 10 as a tourist's daughter in the Farrelly Brothers' 2007 romantic comedy The Heartbreak Kid, starring Ben Stiller and Malin Akerman. She first gained recognition playing kooky Spacey Lacey in the Disney Channel sitcom Liv and Maddie, which aired from 2013 to 2017.
May executive produced and starred as cheerful camp director Lou Hockhauser in Pamela Eells O'Connell's sitcom Bunk'd, which enjoyed a seven-season run from 2015 to 2024 on Disney Channel. The long-haired brunette even directed six episodes of the Jessie spin-off series.
Currently commanding $110 for personalized messages on Cameo, May will celebrate her 30th birthday with her fiancé on April 6. The 5ft 5in comedian is next scheduled to appear at the Global Down Syndrome Foundation's Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show on November 7 at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Denver, Colorado.
