She described him as “super hot” and admitted that she took a picture of him with her phone while he was treating her dog. She said that she sent the photo to her friend Dan Levy, the star of “Schitt’s Creek”, and compared Barnes to Ted, the charming veterinarian character from the show.

Cummings has also said that she is ready to propose to Barnes, as she does not want to wait for him to do it. She said that she loves him and that he is the best thing that ever happened to her. She also praised him for being supportive, kind, smart, and handsome.
