WEDDING bells are on the horizon for actress Billie Lourd and her new fiance Austen Rydell.
Austen, also an actor, shared the happy news on Instagram on Thursday.
The two were an item for years before they took a brief break.
They reconnected in 2017 and have been traveling the world together before their engagement.
Austen Rydell is an actor and producer, known for his roles on NFL Gameday, The Mensch, and Wildflower.
The 28-year-old grew up in Los Angeles.
“She said YES!!,” the 28-year-old actor wrote alongside videos and photos of the couple. “(Actually she said ‘Duhhh’) But I guess that’s even better than yes?!?”
The Booksmart star and her fiance found each other again in 2017 after taking a bit of a break.
They took a trip to Norway later that year and saw the Northern Lights on the one-year anniversary of the death of her mother Carrie Fisher.
“My momby had an otherworldly obsession with the Northern Lights, but I never got to see them with her,” Lourd wrote on Instagram at the time.
“We journeyed to northern Norway to see if we might ‘see the heavens lift up her dark skirts and flash her dazzling privates across [our] unworthy irises.’ And she did.
I love you times infinity.”
Austen is a movie producer and actor.
Since he started dating Billie, the two have enjoyed a long and adventurous relationship.
They have traveled the world together, enjoyed holidays, and even adopted a dog together.
The two regularly post happy couple snaps on Instagram. Last year, Austen gushed over his lady love on her birthday, writing “Best girl in the world!”
“Can’t tell you how lucky I am to have her.”
On Valentine’s Day, Billie returned the sentiments.
“All ‘round the world you make my world go ‘round #toinfinityandbaeyond,” she wrote on Instagram alongside photos of the couple.
Before reuniting with her now-fiance, Billie dated Twilight star Taylor Lautner.
The Scream Queens celeb and the Michigan actor broke up after less than a year of dating.
Billie’s mom Carrie Fisher starred in the epic Star Wars franchise as Princess Leia.
She struggled with drugs and alcohol in the 1980’s but overcame it after writing and publishing Postcards from the Edge, a book which was then adapted to a movie and starred Merryl Streep.
She was a prolific author and screenwriter.
Fisher returned to screens as Princess Leia in 2015 for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens.
Sadly, the legendary actress suffered died days after suffering a major heart attack on December 17, 2016.
She was only 60 years old.
