All three snaps exuded his usual sense of humor as he intentionally wore a nervous look on his face while holding her left hand to his chest.
The brunette beauty beamed with happiness as she showed off an oval shaped diamond with a slight halo and two baguettes on the side.

Eric — who rose to fame as Cam on the hit ABC sitcom over the course of a decade — first met Schweitzer at the Big Slick charity event in his native Kansas City in 2016.
A source had previously told PEOPLE: 'They are very happy to have met each other. They're enjoying spending time together.'
And in a 2017 appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show he confessed: 'She calms me — she calms my nerves. I'm a very high-strung person.'
He had previously had a longtime girlfriend by the name of Katherine Tokarz who he split from in 2012.
