Len Wisemanand girlfriendCJ Francoare taking the next step together.
Wiseman, 50, and actress Franco, 32, revealed exclusively to PEOPLE they got engaged on July 4 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The pair were vacationing over the holiday weekend as they celebrated the eighth anniversary of the day they met.
The director proposed to Franco at the couple’s favorite restaurant in the area, Arbol at Las Ventanas.
“He got down on his knee and said ‘I know we’ve only know each other for a little while, so this may come as a shock,’ " Franco tells PEOPLE. “He proposed as fireworks began, which felt like they were just for us. I didn’t hear anything he said but he looked really cute doing it!”
“It was like a dream until I realized my ring was missing,” she recalls. “We put goggles on and spent the next half hour searching the bottom of the pool for lost treasure — as romantically as possible.”
Wiseman and Franco, who live together in Los Angeles, began dating in 2015 after they met at a July 4 party in Malibu. Wiseman designed Franco’s engagement ring with Cartier.
