During a 2011 interview with ET Canada, The Rookie star later revealed that he and Dana were engaged after one year of dating. "I just got down on my knee on the couch in our living room and just proposed and she was shocked and she obviously said yes and it was amazing!" he explained.
Months later, the couple tied the knot on July 27 2012, with Shawn's rep confirming the news. For their special day, the newlyweds decided to marry in an intimate ceremony at SmogShoppe on La Cienega Boulevard in LA.
Both Dana and Shawn have shared photos from their wedding on Instagram, and it looks magical. Opting for a strapless fitted gown with a sweetheart neckline, Dana's dress was adorned with delicate floral appliques at the waist. Sweeping her blonde locks into an elegant updo, the bride's makeup was kept natural and dewy. As for her husband, Shawn rocked a classic black suit complete with a crisp white shirt.
Five years after they said 'I do' Shawn and Dana proudly welcomed a baby boy named Oliver in 2017. During a 2018 interview for Lauren Conrad's blog, the assistant director, who also runs her own business – Gratitude Collaborative – spoke about becoming a mother.
"I didn't realize how much I could really love until now," said Dana. "My heart breaks when my baby is in pain, and my heart melts when he's happy. I'm not a sappy person at all, but I cry so much more now (it could be the lack of sleep!). He makes me a better person. I am learning that I have NO control over anything, and I just have to be okay with it!"
