Director Charlie also shared the news on his own social media page, writing: "In a time of uncertainty and darkness you have illuminated my life. I will forever cherish my adventure with you."

The famous couple revealed to the world that they were an item in 2019, and Lily opened up two years prior, in 2017, about her desire to find the right person.

Speaking about love during an interview with Sunday People, the Mirror Mirror star said: "I’ve learned a lot about myself because of the relationships that haven’t worked out.

"I’ve had some good and some bad relationships. I want someone to make me laugh. I need to just be enough for someone. I would like to be -accepted in my pyjamas or wearing something glamorous."
