Miley, 19, told People magazine: "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam", tweeting "life is beautiful" shortly after.

The couple met while working together on The Last Song in 2009 and Liam has since admitted that, while he wanted to be professional on the film, they couldn't help but fall in love after working so closely together.

He said: "What happened happened, and we've been together since.

"She makes me really happy. When you start, you want to be professional, but when you're filming those scenes with someone and pretending to love them, you're not human if you don't feel something."

In turn Miley has said that Liam - whose brother Chris Hemsworth recently had a baby girl - is the perfect guy because he listens to her.

The singer-and-actress split from Liam in 2010 before rekindling their relationship last year, but now says she knows he is the right man for her because he's always there to lend a sympathetic ear instead of telling her what to do.

She said: "I think it's someone that is always there to listen and I think that's when people make mistakes because they always want to have the answers and I don't like people trying to fix me, I just like them being able to listen."

Miley has also thanked her fans for wishing her well on her engagement, tweeting: "thank you for all the love today :) I'm happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true."
