Two stars of the hit Netflix show Cobra Kai have announced that they are engaged, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Tanner Buchanan, 26, and Mary Mouser, 28—who play young but talented martial artists on the Karate Kid reboot—shared their news in a joint Instagram post on Thursday. “We’re so happy to finally share that we’re engaged,” the pair wrote. “This is such a special moment in our lives, the closing of one chapter and celebrating the continuation of another.” Buchanan and Mouser had only revealed that they were in a relationship at a series finale gathering for their show on Wednesday, sharing a kiss. They were also sporting diamond rings at the event, stirring up questions about whether they were engaged. Buchanan and Mouser portray the respective children of the dire rivals from the Karate Kid film franchise, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). The relationship mirrors their characters’ on-screen romance. The show is concluding after a six-season run.
