Mitcham joins a group of gay celebrities who’ve announced their engagement via Instagram.

The couple celebrated their six month anniversary in May. Mitcham said at the time

“I’ve been with this funny, passionate, energetic, caring, fun-loving, handsome man for six months.

“The longest six months of my life, but mostly because of how much we’ve crammed into them. @lukeyluke8, thanks for being the Ricky Ricardo to my Lucy. ”

I wish I could say I’m humbled by the response we’ve received but the attention seeker in me is LIVING. Thank you for all the kind messages. I wish I could respond to each one individually but I’ve got my big fat gay wedding to plan. I’ll heart each message to let you know I’ve read and appreciated your kind words ❤️
