Charlie Barnettis engaged!
TheRussian Dollstar, 34, is set to wed his now-fiancé, set dresser and designer Drew Bender.
Barnett revealed his happy news while walking the red carpet for the season two premiere of the Netflix series earlier this week, tellingPage Sixthat he and Bender want their wedding to have a western touch.
“I worked on a ranch for many summers while I was at school at Juilliard,” he told the outlet. “It was a nice outlet from doing all this mental work, and I just needed to do something physical — build a fence, wrangle.”
“I’m from Florida, so I learned a lot. I got really educated on black cowboys, specifically female black cowboys, cowpeople? I don’t know how to say it,” he added. “There’s a deep, rich history, especially in Wyoming and Montana, lot of runaway slaves, but we don’t talk about them.”
TheYou,Ordinary JoeandChicago Firealum went on to say that the ceremony is “going to be very bohemian” with loved ones residing in either cabins or RVs during the festivities.

Elsewhere in his chat with Page Six, Barnett said that although he may be the “bridezilla” of the pair, he and his soon-to-be husband are both “very chill people.”
“Wyoming is a difficult place to find things. That’s where I’ve been a bridezilla,” he teased. “Like, where the f— do I find a porta-potty in the vicinity of Salt Lake City? I don’t want to have to ship it.”
