And the soap star is all smiles about this new turn in their relationship.
After that, little is known about his romantic status until he started dating Ratledge.
They have been inseparable ever since.
In January, Atkinson took Ratledge to Italy, seemingly making things official within their relationship.
Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the 30-year-old has scored several notable roles in her career thus far.
She landed her debut film, “The Last Stand,” in 2011.
While Ratledge will soon add “wife” to her many titles, no wedding plans have been unveiled.
Congratulations to this beautiful couple!
