Many of Luke’s Hallmark co-stars offered their well-wishes in the comments, with Alison Sweeney writing: ‘This is incredible news!! I am SO happy for all three of you!!!!!! Congrats.’

‘Huge congrats Luke! So thrilled for you,’ commented Nikke DeLoach, who starred in A Christmas Land with Luke.

Luke’s Bros co-star Billy Eichner also shared a collection of heart emojis.

The Brothers And Sisters star previously appeared alongside Billy in the raunchy male rom-com, which broke ground by focusing on two gay men, and featuring an entirely LGBTQ cast.

In 2008, Luke publicly came out as gay in an interview with The Globe and Mail , saying: ‘I don’t know what will happen professionally … that is the fear, but I guess I can’t really be concerned about what will happen, because it’s my truth.’

The star head a lead role on Brothers And Sisters for five seasons from 2006 to 2011, and went onto star in Killjoys from 2015 to 2019.

He has also become a fixture on the Hallmark Channel, appearing a slew of their heartwarming TV movies.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Luke admitted that he struggled to land roles after Brothers And Sisters ended.

He said: ‘I can literally remember an agent once saying to me, ”Superman can’t be gay”—like just straight out.

‘I do remember being frustrated, seeing other actors and straight guys my age—and I never want to make it about that, but—thinking, Why are they getting [the parts]? Why am I not getting them?

‘The post–Brothers & Sisters moment was scary, for sure. I was like, ”Dude, I’m the perfect age for this stuff.” And it wasn’t clicking, for whatever reason.’
