The actor, known for his role as Willis Beard on Ted Lasso (which he co-created with Jason Sudeikis), presented his love with a rectangular diamond set on a gold band adorned with smaller stones. Nelson displayed more glimpses of her new engagement ring on her personal Instagram account on Thursday, accompanying them with a heartfelt message for her newly-engaged partner.
Nelson expressed her joy in a heartfelt Instagram post, declaring, "We are a family - a truly remarkable and enchanting family that will remain forever." She acknowledged the assumptions made by some, but clarified that their focus was initially on other priorities in solidifying their bond as a family. However, now it feels like the perfect time.

Hunt and Nelson, who have been together for many years, share 2-year-old son Sean Theodore.
“It is my utmost pleasure to introduce you to Sean Theodore Nelson Hunt. After a lengthy 27-hour induction (every expecting mother should be fortunate enough to have a birth/life partner like Brendan), he was finally delivered via a cesarean section," Nelson shared on Instagram in January 2021, proudly announcing the arrival of their baby boy. "He weighs 7 pounds and 1 ounce, measuring 19.6 inches in length, and is absolutely perfect in every way. Our love for him grows exponentially with each glance at his precious face. Currently, we plan to stay in London while Dad continues filming his show, and once the vaccine rollout is well underway, we will return home, allowing everyone the opportunity to meet this beautiful marvel."
Shannon Nelson, courtesy of Brendan Hunt/Instagram, filmed all three seasons of Ted Lasso in England. Although the season 3 finale was released in May, the future of this Apple TV+ comedy remains undisclosed.
"We are currently unsure. We feel the need to take a break, which we will be doing soon," Hunt clarified during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session earlier this month. "No options have been dismissed and all possibilities are on the table, even the possibility of us concluding our work. Only after reflecting and decompressing for some time will we have a clearer understanding."
