Less than three months after going public with their relationship, Emily Hampshire and Teddy Geiger have announced they’ve gotten engaged.
“I love this woman so much she treats me like a lil princess and makes me laugh harder than anyone. I am so f**king happy to wake up next to her every morning and fall asleep next to her every night and take care of our lil B.B. stumbs together,” Geiger wrote on Instagram, adding, “Which is why… When she asked me if I wanted to spend the rest of our lives together I said… YES … INFINITE YES.”

In a subsequent Instagram post, the singer/songwriter/producer shared a photo of her engagement ring, writing: “My mom said I had to post another one of the ring cuz it’s so pretty and she said I made it look ‘trashy’ cuz I had my ‘tongue stickin’ out’ so here is a super classy pic.”
Geiger, 30, and the “Schitt’s Creek” star, 37, revealed they were dating in late August, with Hampshire sharing a photo of themselves on Instagram, referring to Geiger — who announced in 2017 she was transitioning from male to female — as “my girlfriend.”
In a recent interview with Paper magazine, Geiger opened up about transitioning and his relationship with Hampshire.
“I started painting my nails and started wearing some women’s clothing, but that whole side of me always caused problems in my intimate relationships. There was a lot of shame attached to it,” she explained.

“I’d talk to people I was dating about it but still feel ashamed. Generally it would be fine at first, but then as time went on they’d maybe not be as cool with it as they thought they were. Whereas now I’m dating Emily and from the beginning this is who she met,” Geiger added.
“It’s very different when you’re being yourself and your friends know who you are. I’m not carrying this weight around anymore. I’m not ashamed of myself,” she continued. “I’m not angry at myself for being this way. I’m not taking it out on other people, or not feeling like I can be all there with them.”
