Little met Ferrentino through work. He is an actor, she a playwright and screenwriter — they met on the set of a play.
The actor was a part of the cast for a stage act she wrote with Kris Marshall. They apparently hit it off right away.
The pair got engaged in September 2018. Little did Little know how easy he would have it.
She had told him that the only thing she wanted for her engagement was her grandmother's ring.
"I had a total result with the ring, though," he confessed to Mirror in February 2020. "it’s [her grandma's ring] absolutely beautiful. And free. I was like, ‘Brilliant!’"
He knew she was the one because it "just felt right" for him. "She's my best friend. This is the real thing for me," he said.
