Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell announced in September 2020 that they’re engaged! The couple have been linked to each other since 2019, when they popped up on each other’s Instagram accounts for the first time that August. “Always got your back,” Lily captioned a snap of herself cuddling up to Charlie in Paris at the time. Just one year later, she revealed the happy news on Instagram. “I’ve been waiting my lifetime for you and I can’t wait to spend our lifetime together…,” she captioned a series of snaps, which featured an up-close look at her engagement ring, a pic of the couple kissing, and an adorable snap of the filmmaker getting down on one knee!
Charlie also shared the news on his Instagram page, writing, “In a time of uncertainty and darkness you have illuminated my life. I will forever cherish my adventure with you.” The daughter of musician Phil Collins was already showbiz royalty, but it turns out her husband-to-be also descends from celebs: Charlie’s parents are esteemed actors Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. Lily has previously been linked to actors Zac Efron, Chris Evans, and Jamie Campbell Bower, while Charlie has also dated A-listers including Emilia Clarke and Rooney Mara.
