On his Twitter page, Powell, a voice actor, writer, and self-described "tallest hobbit," wrote, "After nearly 2 years of staying inside, we KNOW adventure is out there. Can't wait to travel the globe with you Red, but you're already my entire world."
Grimes joined the Y&R cast as Cassie Newman in March 1997. In 2000, at age tens, she became the youngest person to ever win the Outstanding Younger Actress trophy at the Daytime Emmys. She exited in 2005 when Cassie died from injuries she sustained in a car accident. She returned to Y&R in January 2014 as Cassie's twin, Mariah Copeland. She earned an Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy in 2018.
In March 2021, Grimes shared that she and Powell had marked their one-year anniversary as a couple.
