Lily Collins’ Relationship With Her Fiancé Is More Romantic Than ‘Emily in Paris’

Since her engagement, fans have wanted to know more about Lily Collins’ soon-to-be husband, Charlie McDowell. Collins, stars in Netflix’s Emily in Paris, confirmed her engagement to McDowell in September 2020 with an Instagram post of her showing off her ring after McDowell proposed to her during a road trip in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

“I’ve been waiting my lifetime for you and I can’t wait to spend our lifetime together..” she captioned a picture of her kissing her fiancé. In an interview with Extra in December 2020, Collins opened up about what the engagement meant to her. “I don’t know how used to it you get,” she said. “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 photoshoots, 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.’ ”

In an interview with Byrdie in November 2020, Collins revealed why McDowell proposed to her during a road trip, which was a tradition they started during the current health crisis. “You’re literally breathing in clean air,” she said. “You’re not feeling at a loss of creativity and you’re doing things with your hands and getting outside and building fires, and feeling really at peace in a time when there’s just been so much darkness.”

Collins revealed that McDowell proposed to her while they were on the road between Sedona and Santa Fe. She described the proposal as “a surreal moment that you just replay over and over in your head.” Though their engagement came after only one year, Collins confessed that she knew immediately McDowell was The One. “All my friends joked with me at first,” she said. “They’re like, ‘How can you know’ I’m like, ‘I know. I just know.’”
