Seems like just yesterday that the internet (gonna go ahead and @ myself here) was thirstily speculating that Emily in Paris star Lily Collins and Zac Efron were dating—you know, after finding love on the set of their, uh, Ted Bundy movie? Yeah, well, not so much! Turns out Zac and Lily were just friends, and now she’s straight-up engaged to her boyfriend of more than a year, director Charlie McDowell. And, I might add, she’s wearing the most gorgeous “one-of-a-kind rose-cut diamond” by Irene Neuwirth.
Lily and Charlie are exceedingly cute and it’s obviously vital that Not. One. Moment. is missed of their VIBES, so here’s a timeline of their sweet relationship (in reverse chronological order for your easy consumption). But first, we gotta take a moment to appreciate the sparkles, sorry:

She adds, “I never would ever wear a ring on that finger. It wasn’t like I was superstitious; I was just like, ‘I’m saving that finger.’ Even in photo shoots, I’d be like, ‘No, no, no….’ I was always saving it, so now it’s like, ‘Oh, right, like, it has its place, it’s finally found the right ring to put on.’”

Lily and Charlie prompt dating speculation for the first time when they’re photographed by Metro UK arm in arm in Los Angeles (see the pics over here). We don’t know when exactly they met—the internet is convinced it was in early 2019—but we do know that it was pretty much a love-at-first-sight type of vibe: “It was kind of one of those situations where I knew the second that I met him that I wanted to be his wife one day and so it was just a matter of when, really,” Lily told Kelly and Ryan in the interview below:
