The 27-year-old excitedly announced her engagement on her private Twitter, 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 later posted, “She said YES!! (Actually she said ‘Duhhh’) But I guess that’s even better than yes?!?” he wrote alongside a series of photos of the couple.

Lourd and Rydell were first romantically linked in early 2016, but broke up shortly after.  Between then and early 2018, two remained an on-again-off-again couple until reconciling completely.  

In July 2018, Rydell surprised the Scream Queens star with an ultra romantic 24-hour trip to Las Vegas.
