Katelyn Nacon is celebrating a major personal milestone after announcing her engagement to longtime boyfriend Xavier Jimenez.
The Walking Dead actress shared the news on social media with a photo of her engagement ring. Her caption listed May 28, 2026, confirming the proposal date.
Fans quickly congratulated the couple, and several familiar names from The Walking Dead universe joined in. The reaction showed how much support Nacon still has from her former castmates and the fanbase.
Chandler Riggs, who played Carl Grimes, was among the first to celebrate. Cassidy McClincy, Tom Payne, Khary Payton, Matt Lintz, Angel Theory, Christian Serratos, and Cooper Andrews also reacted to the announcement.
Jimenez shared the same engagement photo on Instagram. His post also received plenty of support from friends, followers, and several Walking Dead cast members.
Jimenez is an actor and director with credits in The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, and Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. He and Nacon have reportedly been together since at least 2021.
Nacon became known to Walking Dead fans through her role as Enid. She joined the AMC series during Season 5 and remained part of the show through Season 9.

Her death in Season 9 remains one of the series’ most shocking moments. Enid was among the victims killed by Alpha as the Whisperer threat became a major part of the story.
Since leaving The Walking Dead, Nacon has continued acting. Her credits include Light as a Feather, Chicago Fire, and The Rookie.
This time, the Walking Dead community is reacting to much happier news. Nacon and Jimenez are now engaged, and fans are celebrating the couple’s next chapter together.
