One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush has shared the happy news that she is now engaged to her boyfriend, Grant Hughes.

The actress revealed the news via a candid photo of the proposal on Instagram, which shows Grant down on one knee and holding Sophia's hands while they enjoy a boat ride in Italy's Lake Como. She has also shared another snap of the couple lying down on the boat, both looking at Sophia's new ring.

"So it turns out that being your favorite person's favorite person is the actual best feeling on planet Earth #YES," she captioned the proposal photo. "Thank you to @comoclassicboats and @bottega53 for helping my favorite human plan the most incredible, moving surprise of my life. My heart. It bursts."

She also called Grant her "Forever Favorite", adding that she will "never recover" from seeing the touching photos.

Sophia has received an outpouring of congratulatory messages, including from Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul, Scandal's Kerry Washington, Glee stars Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz and This Is Us actress Mandy Moore.

Big Little Lies star Reese Witherspoon commented: "Oh my heart... love this!! Congrats!" while Queer Eye's Tan France – who welcomed a baby son with his husband Rob in July – wrote: "OH MY GOSH!! I'm so, so happy for you. Huge congrats".

Sophia is known for her role as Brooke Davis in One Tree Hill, while she also starred in police drama Chicago PD as Erin Lindsay.

The actress was previously married to One Tree Hill co-star Chad Michael Murray, who played Lucas Scott, between 2005 and 2006, and she recently revealed that she tries not to speak about her relationship with Chad publicly.

"I've tried to poke fun at being a dumb kid and whenever I've done that, it gets twisted into I'm talking shit about somebody who I don't even know anymore, who's clearly a grown-up," she said.

"I think you have to laugh at who you used to be, but when people ask me about history that involves someone else... it's not worth my time."
