EXCLUSIVE: Miley and Liam Are Engaged!

Miley Cyrus and star Liam Hemsworth are engaged to be married after three years of dating, their reps confirm to WHO exclusively.

The rising Australian actor popped the question to US pop singer-actress Miley Cyrus in Los Angeles on May 31, in what a source describes as a “really romantic” proposal.

The Hunger Games star, 22, presented his longtime girlfriend with a 3.5-carat, cushion-cut diamond set in an Art Noveau-inspired gold band from jeweler Neil Lane.

“I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness,” Cyrus, 19, tells WHO exclusively. Adds the source, “She’s so madly in love, it’s not even funny.”

The couple met in 2009 when they co-starred in the romantic coming-of-age film The Last Song, and shared their first kiss on-screen. Despite a brief split in 2010, they’ve since shown signs they’re serious about each other: they’ve been living together in LA’s San Fernando Valley with their five dogs and both have spent time with the other’s family.

She’s very, very happy for me,” he’s said of the former Hannah Montana starlet. “We’re always supportive of each other’s careers and we both know how we feel about each other.”
