Brown, 37, and Kountz originally costarred together on Disney Channel’s Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge 21 years ago.
“We were just friends then and working together,” Brown explains to PEOPLE recently. “People ask that a lot now: if there was any kind of flirting or romantic interest then. And there wasn’t. That didn’t start until way later, until we reconnected five or six years ago.”

Nearly four years later, Brown announced on Instagram in June thatthe pair were engaged. “Have I introduced you guys to my Fiancée?” she captioned a photo of herself smiling beside Kountz. She also a few emojis and a hashtag: “☺️💍❤️ #isaidyes.”
