Dean Geyer and Jillian Murray are engaged!

The singer-actor, best known for his role as Brody Weston on Glee, got engaged to his girlfriend of six years, actress Jillian Murray, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm.

A rep for the couple said Geyer was planning a proposal in Australia, but changed his plans when he found out his bride-to-be couldn’t make it for their annual holiday trip Down Under.

“He had to quickly change the plans and decided he wanted to do it in a photo booth,” the rep tells PEOPLE. “He knew he could get the pictures but still have it be a private moment.”

“So after attending a Broadway play, he took her to a photo booth and got down on one knee while the camera was flashing so they could capture the moment forever with Jillian’s dream ring, a flawless 2 carat diamond.”

Murray plays Heather Pinkney on CBS’s Code Black, starring Marcia Gay Harden.

Just before confirming their engagement, Murray shared a sweet post about her relationship with Geyer on Instagram. On Thursday, the actress wrote, “So my resting bitch face must be contagious … seriously though, why do we always look so mad when we are out? I promise we are the happiest couple around !!!”

“Such a blessing to have this beautiful specimen by my side #peoplesonestowatch,” he wrote.

In October 2011, Geyer talked to the Daily Telegraph about his then-new love.

“I’m really, really happy now. I met my girlfriend on the set of Never Back Down 2,” he said. Her name is Jillian Murray and she’s American. We’ve been together for a year.

“I’m so glad I did that movie, for sure.”
