Oscar-winning actor Emma Stone and Saturday Night Live writer and segment director Dave McCary have announced their engagement after two years of dating.
The couple shared their happy news by posting a photograph on McCary's Instagram account.
In the picture, the pair are both smiling at the camera as Stone – who does not have Instagram – displays her engagement ring.
The couple have been showered with congratulatory messages, including from the likes of tennis legend Billie Jean King, who Stone portrayed in the 2017 film Battle of the Sexes.
"Congratulations to two of the most wonderful, loving, and creative people we know. Ilana and I are so happy for you!" King wrote, referencing her partner, fellow former professional tennis player Ilana Kloss.
"Love is real!?" remarked Love, Simon actor Jorge Lendeborg Jr, while Set It Up star Zoey Deutch commented with a sole sobbing emoji.
Stone has hosted SNL four times, her first time being in 2010 when she was 21 years old.
Prior to the beginning of their relationship, McCary directed the La La Land star in a December 2016 SNL skit titled "Wells for Boys".
Their first red carpet appearance together was at this year's Screen Actors Guild Awards, where they were pictured with Stone's Aloha co-star Bradley Cooper.
In the early 2010s, Stone began dating her The Amazing Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield.
The ex-celebrity couple made their red carpet debut at the April 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and reportedly split in 2015.
They continued to publicly support one another, such as when Garfield gave Stone a standing ovation when she accepted her Golden Globe award in January 2017.
