The news of the couple's wedding comes nearly six months since they announced their engagement. Back in February, the two shared their "happiest" news on social media.

For his part, Chris also shared the new, captioning the same picture, "The happiest."

The couple's love story is a cute one, as the two met on the set of CW's Supergirl. In fact, the 30-year-old actor played Melissa's love interest on the hit TV series, and... as the saying goes, the rest is history!

Aside from their off-the-charts chemistry on the small screen, the two made things seemingly official in March 2017, when they were spotted packing on the PDA during a trip in Mexico. The actors "kissed passionately several times" and "appeared to be in their own world," an eyewitness told E! News of the pair at the time. "They didn't appear to care who watched their passionate embraces."

The former Glee actress was previously married to her co-star Blake Jenner. The two tied the knot in 2013, however, in late 2016, Melissa filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized in 2017.

Congrats to Melissa and Chris on this exciting new chapter in their relationship!
