Alex Pettyfer has announced his engagement to his model girlfriend Toni Garrn.

The actor, 29, revealed that he and Garrn have decided to tie the knot after he got down on one knee at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland on Christmas Eve.

The couple were first linked in late February when they attended Elton John's Oscar party together, but did not confirm their romance until later in the year.

They also worked together on the film Warning, alongside Pettyfer’s father Richard and actors Rupert Everett, Thomas Jane, Alice Eve, and Annabelle Wallis.

Confirming the engagement on Instagram, Pettyfer wrote: “Some people marry their best friend. Some people marry their soulmate. I got both.”

Sharing the joy, Garrn, 27, posted on her Instagram: “Christmas Eve the love of my life surprised me on his knees asking me to be his forever. He changed my life the day we met and showed me what love really is - so yes I cannot wait to spend every day (well almost) of my life with you.”

Pettyfer was previously engaged to actress Riley Keough in 2012 but the couple ended their relationship.

He has also dated actresses Emma Roberts and Dianna Agron.
