If you didn’t know, Frankie and Jacob are no strangers as Jacob hosted a HSMTMTS recap series on YouTube and Frankie was a guest for an episode.

“Getting my first TV husband on tonight’s episode of BUNK’D on @disneychannel 👰🏽‍♂️,” Frankie teased on Instagram ahead of the episode.

“Last year, in the middle of Pride month, I had the most amazing week on set with some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in show business who immediately accepted me as part of the family. I still can’t get over what feels like a stars aligning moment… getting to play an OUT, GAY character on DISNEY CHANNEL, in a committed relationship PROPOSING to his BOYFRIEND (a Disney Channel first???)… its all just so unbelievably historic for my little 13-year-old self who is still losing is MIND,” Jacob shared on his account.

He added, “Thank you to my new little sister @shilohlovestosing, my buddy @lukebusey for being a JOY, the incomparable @frankiearodriguez (a DREAM fiancé), @_jaimelynette for being my personal photographer 🤣 and the amazing team at Bunk’d for a beautiful little story and literally one of the best weeks of my life.”
