EXCLUSIVE How dancer Kayla Radomski won over Hollywood star Jason Segel as couple confirm engagement
Jason Segel 'has never been happier' after proposing to his girlfriend of two years, Kayla Radomski.
The actor, 45, popped the question to the professional dancer, 34, on Monday, DailyMail.com exclusively reported.
Just days before the proposal, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star accompanied Kayla to an event for luxury skincare brand Cotrini at the Saddle Ranch in Hollywood.
The party was hosted by Scheana Shay and Janet Caperna of Bravo's The Valley and Vanderpump Rules and was attended by various cast members from both shows, making Jason a surprising guest given his much larger celebrity status.
'He was there to support Kayla, who was Scheana's choreographer on The Masked Singer,' a source told DailyMail.com.
While the happy couple made no mention of engagement plans to guests, they were completely inseparable from the time they arrived until they left.
'They were holding hands most of the time and were almost joined at the hip - it's clear that Jason's absolutely smitten with her,' said another source.
'He didn't act like he was too big to hang out with reality stars or anything like that. He was there to support Kayla and was happy to chat to anyone and everyone,' they added.
Another source close to the couple shed some more light on how Kayla was able to win him over.
'Obviously she's beautiful, but he really respects that she's a hard worker and is genuinely talented,' they said.
'He really loves watching her dance and is inspired by how passionate she is about the arts.'
Last year, Kayla starred in the short film Ukrainian Dance Movie, which celebrated the Ukrainian spirit in the face of war.
According to the source, those closest to the couple were completely caught off guard by the engagement.
'We all knew that Jason was head over heels for her, but we didn't expect them to get engaged,' they said.
'Everyone's really happy for them, it was just a big surprise!'
The Shrinking actor proposed to the professional dancer amid a romantic setting at The Huntington Library in Pasadena on Monday evening.
The couple were first linked back in 2023 - and made their red carpet debut together last year during awards season.
A source told DailyMail.com: 'The proposal occurred in the Huntington Library's rose garden, and was captured by a photographer hired by the actor.'
Radomski said 'yes' to Segel and 'the teary-eyed couple enjoyed a private dinner together in the Huntington Library's rose garden' afterwards.
Both Jason and Kayla also took time to express their gratitude towards employees who had helped set up for the big moment.
Kayla officially confirmed the engagement news on Wednesday when she posted photos of the happy moment to Instagram.
'Forever yes!' she gushed in the caption.
The lovebirds were first romantically linked in October 2023 when they were spotted during Hollywood Horror Nights at Universal Studios.
At the time, they were seen holding hands as they strolled through the crowded amusement park.
In early 2024, Segel and Radomski made their red carpet debut at the Golden Globe Awards as she cheered on the actor who was nominated for his role in Shrinking.
The two cozied up together at the event as they paused for a brief photo session before the main ceremony kicked off.
At the time, the actress had also jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from the night - and also penned a sweet tribute to Segel.
'WOW..... @jasonsegel I am so incredibly proud of you!!!! What a dream. You are absolutely one of the hardest working and most deserving humans on this planet. My Golden Globe Nominee!'
She added, 'I love that we got to spend a whole day celebrating YOU and your talent!!! I love you so much baby!'

The same month, the couple walked the red carpet once again as they made an appearance at the 2024 Emmys.
On social media, Kayla gushed that she is 'always amazed watching your drive and love for what you do. You inspire me every single day.'
She continued, 'I cannot wait to continue to watch you thrive and create more magic throughout your life. Thank you for loving me and being the best man this lady could dream up. I love you.'
Despite their few red carpet appearances, Segel and Radomski mainly keep their romance out of the spotlight.
On a couple occasions, the dancer has uploaded sweet selfies of the couple as they spend quality time together.
Last year in April, the pair showed off their toned figures as they whisked themselves away for a tropical vacation.
And later that year in November, the lovebirds cozied up together for another photo as they bundled up in the cold weather.
In the caption, the beauty penned, 'FULL OF LOVE,' alongside red heart emojis.
While it is not known when exactly the pair struck up a romance or first met, Kayla is no stranger to the entertainment industry.
She starred in the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance back in 2009 - and came in fourth place.
Radomski is also a former backup dancer for Taylor Swift, and joined the Grammy winner as well as Bredon Urie for their performance of ME! at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
On the big screen, she has also had the chance to showcase her dance skills - such as the 2024 short film Ukrainian Dance Movie.
And in 2019, she made a brief appearance in Quentin Tarantino's movie Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood. In one scene, she could be seen dancing next to Leonardo DiCaprio.
Segel is also known for his successful career which kicked off when he starred in the short-lived series Freaks And Geeks.
He then played Marshall Eriksen on the beloved show How I Met Your Mother from 2005 through 2014.
Jason has also starred in films such as Knocked Up (2007), Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Despicable Me (2010) and Bad Teacher (2011).
The actor is currently working on the Apple TV+ series Shrinking alongside Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie and Christa Miller. The show has been renewed for a third season.
Segel previously dated his Freaks And Geeks co-star Linda Cardellini after the show was canceled following one season.
He has also been in relationships with Michelle Williams and photographer Alexis Mixter before beginning a romance with Radomski.

Seven steps will give you the smoothest bikini line shave this summer – you're probably using the wrong razor to start
WHETHER you're soaking up the sun if your garden or planning a summer trip, it's time to whip out your bikini. And thanks to these handy steps, you can get the smoothest shave before you sunbathe. 2 If it feels impossible to shave your bikini line without causing unsightly bumps or ingrown hairs, don't fret. A former swimmer has revealed the process she swears by for "the perfect bikini shave". TikTok user Emily Guebs (@emilyguebs) shared her wisdom for a smooth finish in a video that has amassed 2.4 million views. She explained that she does not wax, laser, or sugar her bikini line but still receives compliments on the smooth finish. The first step of the process she has mastered is ensuring her bikini line is the last part of her body she shaces. According to Emily, this "gives the follicles time to soften up in the warm water". She also advised her audience to designate a specific razor for that area to "eliminate spreading infection". And as for the type of razor you should opt for, the TikToker said she was surprised by what works best. "I've been using cheap razors forever, as long as you're using one that is staying in a clean and dry environment and you're cleaning it regularly, I really don't think you have to use a super nice razor," she said. She discussed the best direction for shaving to prevent irritation, explaining that it should always be "sideways and down, not up". I swear by my RAF dad's shaving method for perfectly smooth legs - a simple substitute gives the perfect finish And the steps you take after shaving prove to be just as important in perfecting a smooth bikini line. Emily recommended rinsing the are with cold water before patting it dry with a towel. According to the TikToker, you should never rub a freshly shaved area dry. Finally, she revealed her "biggest game changer" tip, which is to spread a pea-sized amount of antiseptic cream across the area. Emily's followers shared their thoughts on the beauty advice in the comments section. "Adds antiesptic cream to beach shopping list," wrote one TikTok user. "Heavy on the don't need an expensive razor! I tried out a five blade there and gave me razor bumps," said another viewer. "This is the first time I've not heard to exfoliate the area," commented a third person. "OMG, antiseptic cream, that's f**king genius," wrote another impressed follower. "These tips are all so good and apply to shaving other areas too," pointed out one viewer. 2

Stephen A. Smith blasted by ex-ESPN colleague in scathing attack after new $100million deal
Stephen A. Smith is arguably ESPN's biggest star, but not because he's the most prepared, according to one former colleague. Jason Fitz, a former ESPN sports radio host who was laid off in 2023 and has since joined Fox Sports, claims the polarizing media figure is actually too busy to watch games. 'Stephen A. is one of the least prepared people I've ever worked with in my entire career,' Fitz told Memphis' ESPN Radio affiliate during a recent guest spot. Smith, who recently signed a five-year, $100 million extension with ESPN, has faced criticism since being caught playing solitaire on his phone During Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Indianapolis. He's since claimed he was multitasking. The controversy surrounding Smith only grew this week when the 57-year-old Bronx native claimed Memphis' notorious crime rate was preventing the NBA's Grizzlies from attracting top-level free agents. 'But there's an element there where cats like Jimmy Butler and others don't feel it's the safest environment. I'm talking to the local authorities in Memphis,' Smith said. 'You've got to clean some of that stuff up because it's dissuasive to NBA players. They have talked about it. I know. They've told me.' And it was that latest controversy that Fitz was responding to when he blasted Smith this week in Memphis. Claiming to work 80 hours a week during his time with ESPN, Fitz admitted Smith 'is busier than I ever was.' 'We see him making content 24/7,' Fitz said. 'So, I guess my question to people in Memphis is: how much Memphis do you think he's actually absorbed? And I mean all of it. Memphis culture, Memphis basketball. 'What the hell does Stephen A. know about the city of Memphis? And the answer to that is only what his friends or his people on his phone, tweet him, or text him. That's all he knows. He is so separated from actual reality. What does he know?' And Fitz didn't stop there. Smith's content, Fitz argued, is rooted in stereotypes rather than first-hand information. 'Stephen A. walks and talks and lives and eats and breathes stereotypes,' Fitz said. 'That's all he knows… Frankly, he has to talk about the city of Memphis because my guy hasn't watched a single Memphis basketball game in probably three years. 'Stephen A. has a staff and info group that feeds him information so that he can have somewhat informed opinions, and they're usually not because he works too hard to actually watch any games.' The West Tennessee city on the banks of the Mississippi has been plagued by gang activity with a whopping 398 murders in 2023 compared to less than 100 just 13 years earlier. But as Memphis mayor Paul Young said in his response to Smith, 'violent crime is down significantly in 2024 and 2025.' He went on to extend an invitation for Smith to visit Memphis, which the ESPN host accepted. 'Deeply appreciate your words and the sentiments that came with them,' Smith wrote on X this week. 'Progress is what life is all about and when it comes to Memphis -where some dear friends of mine reside − I wish for nothing less. The people deserve nothing less. 'So with that said, I accept your invitation to come to your city, as your guest. Let's make it happen. I'm looking forward to it.' As for Fitz's criticism of Smith, it's not the first time sports aficionados have questioned the First Take host's expertise. One such incident popped up in August of 2024, when the self-professed Yankees fans discussed New York's Aaron Judge and his then-teammate, Juan Soto. 'Judge has Juan Soto batting behind him so they can't get around him… they've got to pitch to the brother because you have Soto waiting in the wings,' Smith said ESPN. Smith, as countless baseball fans quickly recognized, was exactly backwards about the whole situation. It was Judge who hit behind Soto in the Yankees' lineup last season, thereby motivating pitchers to throw strikes to Soto in hopes of avoiding a walk and giving Judge the chance to drive in another run.
