Austin North, known for playing Topper Thornton on “Outer Banks,” is engaged to fitness coach Cali Fuller. The couple announced the news on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, after North staged a surprise proposal in a backyard setting, according to Just Jared.
Fuller shared the announcement on Instagram with a caption referencing the song “Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury. She described the moment as the “biggest (& best) surprise of my entire life” and wrote that the post was “written well before we knew” how the day would unfold.

Fuller’s caption leaned heavily on her faith, a theme consistent with how she has presented herself online. She wrote that “the Lord knew I needed them both,” adding that “not only did I get the man of my dreams, but his mom too.”
North, 30, built his acting career on Disney Channel before joining the cast of “Outer Banks.” The Netflix series follows a group of teenagers on a treasure hunt across the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and North’s role as Topper has made him a recognizable face among the show’s fan base.

The engagement announcement drew an immediate response from North’s “Outer Banks” co-stars in the comments section. Madison Bailey wrote “ahhh!! congratulations yall,” while Chase Stokes added “Congrats brother.” Jonathan Daviss echoed the sentiment with “CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER,” and actor J Anthony Crane called North “fabtiastic,” adding “Congrats big guy. What a gent.”
For fans following the cast’s personal lives alongside the show itself, the reactions from Bailey, Stokes and Daviss offer a glimpse at the off-screen camaraderie among the “Outer Banks” ensemble. The public well-wishes came quickly after the announcement posted, suggesting the cast keeps close tabs on each other outside of filming.
Background On The Couple
North and Fuller went public with their relationship in January 2026. Fuller relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, in October 2025, around the time their relationship appears to have developed.
Fuller works as a fitness coach and influencer, offering one-on-one coaching along with an online program called the “Debloat & Tone 6 Week Challenge.” Her public persona also emphasizes wellness and sobriety, themes that surfaced in her engagement announcement alongside her religious references.
