"Now I feel so lucky to love you. You can #Collinsmesmitten for sure! Thank you for being the absolute wonder that you are."

Collins is equally smitten with the actress as he shared an adorable message to celebrate her birthday, describing her as being the best thing to have ever happened to him.

Since becoming Instagram official, the couple has been posting lots of photos together, including enjoying the holiday season, such as an adorable snapshot from Christmas.

Metz shared more of her Bumble experiences when chatting with Cohen.

Although the couple met on Bumble, Metz shared that they have lots of friends in common, so it felt like it was meant to be when they finally had their first date in May.

She revealed that chatting online first allowed them to really get to know each other before jumping straight into a relationship. She said to "Today" hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager:

"We really got a chance to know each other because you can’t get to smooching too soon when you’re social-distance dating. It’s helpful, guys."

Metz shared more of her Bumble experiences when chatting with Cohen. She revealed that there had been one guy who had a "This Is Us" mug in his photos, which was too much for her.

Collins is a Nashville native, and Metz explained that he has been in music publishing for the last 16 years and that they know the same songwriters.

After all, she is not only an actress but a singer too. In fact, she has spent part of the year working on her debut album "Country Faith Radio," which chronicles the last 13 years of her life.

Metz plays Katie on the show "This Is Us," and the cast started production for the 5th season of the show in late August last year. Her character had been dealing with her past in recent episodes.
