Wiseman and the model dated for eight years before Wiseman popped the question on July 4 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at their favorite restaurant, Arbol at Las Ventanas. “He got down on his knee, and said, ‘I know we’ve only known each other for a little while, so this may come as a shock,'” Franco exclusively told PEOPLE about the proposal.
The holiday engagement held great significance to the pair, who met at a July 4 party in Malibu in 2015.
“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!” Franco explained, before revealing his gesture went awry.
“It was like a dream until I realized my ring was missing. We put goggles on and spent the next half hour searching the bottom of the pool for lost treasure — as romantically as possible,” Franco said, adding that Wiseman set up “candles and rose petals” near a pool.

“Been keeping a little secret since 4th of July!” Franco captioned a carousel of photos from the big day. “I wanted to keep it quiet until we could share the news with our families in Northern California 🥰. Super happy, swipe to see a photo from today!”
The influencer shared happy memories of the couple on their adventures in Mexico, including several from the engagement, and one of Franco balancing a straw on her upper lip as she toasted drinks with Wiseman.
On July 8, Franco posted behind-the-scenes content from their international trip, writing, “I still get butterflies when you slide into my DMs.” The cover photo saw the couple in matching white robes as they gazed into one another’s eyes in front of a scenic background.
