Emma Stone announces she just got engaged and her ring is absolutely stunning

Emma Stone has got engaged.

The 31-year-old star looks set to marry Saturday Night Live segment director Dave McCary, who she has been dating for more than two years, after he took to Instagram to share a selfie in which Emma showed off her new ring.

And he simply captioned the image with an emoji of two love hearts.

The couple were first romantically linked in October 2017, and are thought to have met when she hosted Saturday Night Live in December 2016.

Emma recently opened up about wanting to get married and have kids, but admitted she didn't always want to.

She said: "My perspective about kids has changed as I've gotten older.

"I never babysat or anything. As a teenager, I was like, 'I'm never getting married, I'm never having kids.'

"It's not exactly how you pictured it like, 'Oh my God. My life's so perfect.' That's why it makes me so crazy to look at social media, when you see people like, 'It's just the best life ever. I couldn't be happier.' You're like, 'Shut up, that is not true.' Not everything comes together in the best way ever every day. Happily ever after ... that's not the reality of life, but you can be happy in a different way than maybe you originally hoped or expected. I love that."
