Sandberg split from boyfriend Bobby Kotick, CEO of Blizzard, after three years, People reported in May, but it's unclear when the couple actually ended their relationship.
Sandberg lives in Menlo Park, just 20 minutes from Facebook headquarters, while Bernthal is based in Los Angeles, about 350 miles away. A source told People, "They have been making it work, and traveling a lot, traveling together."
The couple made their public debut together at a Garth Brooks concert in Boise, Idaho, in July 2019. Friends said that they'd been dating "a few months" by that point.
In August, the pair went on a trip to Israel. Sandberg posted on Facebook that she visited Yad Vashem: World Holocaust Center in Jerusalem with "my family and close friends." She revealed that some of Bernthal's relatives died in the Holocaust.

On February 1, the couple recreated their first date with a hike and picnic, and Bernthal proposed.
Although the couple hasn't released photos of the ring, People reported that it has "five tiny hidden diamonds underneath the setting to represent each of their five children."
