Meet the Director Who Just Proposed to His Girlfriend at the Emmys

This isn't the first time Svendsen has been Weiss's date for the Emmys — the two also paired up at the Governors Ball after the 2012 ceremony, where Weiss won for directing the Tony Awards broadcast earlier that year.

Although Weiss was a nominee and winner this year, he's been on the other side of the Emmys broadcast too. For the 2017 broadcast, hosted by Stephen Colbert, he was credited as an executive producer.

Weiss's Emmy on Monday night was only one of many recognitions he's won throughout his directing career. He's won 14 Emmys, as well as a slew of other awards, including from the Directors Guild of America.

Svendsen's Broadway-based career has meant that the couple have spent a lot of time in the New York theater scene. After the 2017 Tony Awards, they mingled with stars of stage and screen, including Keegan-Michael Key!
