Former teenage heartthrob Ed Westwick has finally popped the question to Amy Jackson.
The Gossip Girl star, 36, got down on one knee in G’staad, Switzerland as he asked the Liverpool-born Bollywood actress, 31, to be his wife in front of a crowd of onlookers.
Taking to Instagram to share the news, the pair shared a slew of sweet snaps together, captioning the images: ‘Hell Yes [ring emoji]’.
Ed starred as anti-hero and playboy Chuck Bass in hit U.S. drama Gossip Girl and fans were quick to joke that Chuck was finally settling down.
The university lecturer’s son, who was raised in Stevenage, met Amy, 31, a Bollywood star with a four-year-old son by an ex-boyfriend, at Silverstone racetrack in 2021 – but has a string of A-list romances behind him.

Last year, the happy couple moved into a new home and have been kept busy with the renovations.
‘We got a new place in the countryside just outside of London,’ he told the Mail of his move from the capital.
‘I’m decorating the house right now — I’m a bit of an interior designer’.
Speaking about Amy, he added: ‘Things are wonderful — she’s my best mate.
‘She’s a great mother, all those things you want that I saw with my mum and dad. I hope I can have my version’.
However, while he now often enjoys romantic getaways with the brunette Bollywood beauty, Ed has been known for his success with famous women.
Ed famously played Chuck Bass on The CW’s award-winning teen drama series Gossip Girl, which chronicled the life of privileged upper-class teens living in New York City.
On the show, his character is met with romantic interest from Vanessa Abrams, played by Jessica Szohr, a student with ambitions to become a documentary filmmaker.

But what many viewers didn’t know at the time is that the set of the American show is where Ed and Jessica’s real-life romance unfolded.
The two enjoyed a lowkey relationship in the noughties despite starring on one of the most popular teen dramas of all time together, although pictures of the pair spotted at a basketball game soon emerged – and their pairing didn’t last too long.
On Apple podcast Chicks in the Office, Jessica, now 38, revealed to the hosts: ‘A lot of us did date and I remember when Ed and I started dating, we wanted to keep it super private.
‘A couple months in – we had been together for quite a bit before it came out – we were going to go to a New York Knicks [basketball] game and we went back and forth’.
Either we are going to live this private life and never leave our apartment, or we do it and we just keep our s*** as private as we can.’
Describing how difficult it was to maintain a secret relationship in Hollywood, Jessica said: ‘It was either you stay home – and we were people who liked going to sporting events and concerts and plays and stuff.
‘After a couple of months, it got old. We need[ed] to leave’.

Shortly after Ed’s on and off again relationship with Jessica, the TV hunk was seen snogging fellow Hollywood A-lister Drew Barrymore, now 48, who starred in a string of successful films during the 1990s and 2000s.
The pair enjoyed a lustful peck as they were attending a Kings of Leon concert in New York City back in 2008.
The rock band were playing at a Manhattan venue, Webster Hall, just like where Ed’s character Chuck Bass was based.
Teen icons Ed and Drew were thought to have headed off to a nearby bar shortly after the gig after some heavy petting.
