Orange Is the New Black actress Ruby Rose has been heating up Hollywood quickly becomingthe newest "it" girl, but her fashion designer fiancée Phoebe Dahlreveals that being in the spotlight won't change their relationship.

“I know our lives will change a littlebit but we’re both very modest and humble so I don’t think it’ll affect us toomuch," she told our sister publication in the UK, HELLO! Fashion Monthly. "If anything,we’ll be able to use the spotlight to shed light on greater world issues. Iknow Ruby will use it to touch on LGBT issues and hopefully I’ll be able topromote my causes, which are sex trafficking, girls’ education and women’sempowerment.”

Inthe candid interview for the magazine's September issue, the granddaughter of legendary Willy Wonka &the Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl admitted her romancewith the actress happened quickly as well. “Do I believe in love at first sight? I didn’t before Ruby but now Ido," Phoebe added. "I have to! It happened to me – I met Ruby at abarbecue I threw a year and a half ago and we got engaged within about threemonths. It was all very instant...Honestly, we’re not really apart that often.”

Whilelove and work seem to be going well for the couple, their success hasunfortunately put their wedding on the back burner.

We’re enjoying being engaged," notes the Faircloth & Supply owner. "Ruby wants a low-key wedding butI want a big one. I’m from a family of 50 so it’s going to have to be big. Idon’t know how anyone has time to plan a wedding, we’re both so focused on ourcareers right now.”
