Congratulations are in order to Billie Lourd, the daughter of the late Carrie Fisher, who announced Thursday that she is engaged to actor Austen Rydell.

The 27-year-old excitedly announced her engagement on her private Twitter account, writing, "I said 'DUH'!!! Can't wait to spend forever with you Iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou."

While she didn't opt to post a photo of the ring, she uploaded an adorable photo of the beaming couple cuddling on the couch.

Rydell shared a post announcing the exciting news. "She said YES!! (Actually she said “Duhhh”) But I guess that’s even better than yes?!?" he captioned the post.

Lourd and Rydell were first romantically linked in early 2016 and have remained relatively private on details of their relationship. However, they are often featured on each other's Instagram accounts.

On Valentine's Day this year, Lourd shared several photos of them with the caption, "All ‘round the world you make my world go ‘round #toinfinityandbaeyond"

Lourd has yet to publicly confirm their engagement.

"GMA" has reached out to a representative for Lourd and will update when we hear back.
