The Last Man on Earth has found his last lady. Actor Will Forte, who starred on the post-apocalyptic Fox TV series from 2015 to 2018, is engaged and planning an eventual wedding to girlfriend Olivia Modling.

Forte, a mainstay on Saturday Night Live for close to a decade, and Modling left the engagement a secret for several months after he supposedly proposed over the holidays, People reported this week.

The news follows a puzzling moment when Forte and his father, Reb Forte, both appeared on the April 8 episode of ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. In his introduction, Reb gave the secret away to the audience.

"My full name is Orville Willis Forte III," he said while pointing to Will with more details. "He's Orville Willis Forte IV. He's currently engaged, and says if he has a boy, they've both agreed, it's a possibility it would be Orville Willis Forte V. Not a decision, but a possibility."

Will added, "We're thinking about it."

Forte was previously linked to actress January Jones up until 2015. He and Modling started dating seriously in 2019, according to the People report. Indeed, she's also been welcomed by Forte's inner circle including his Last Man on Earth colleague Mary Steenburgen.
