The tennis couple also shared a selfie with a big, bright smile in which Boulter could be seen wearing a beautiful ring on her ring finger.
The announcement sparked a heartwarming reaction from their fans and other tennis stars.
Spanish tennis star Paula Badosa congratulated the couple while Ukrainian player Marta Kostyuk wrote, “YESSSSS!!! So happy for youuuu.”
De Minaur's fellow Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis joked, “About damn time.”
Boulter's Billie Jean King Cup captain, Anne Keothavong, wrote, "Whoop! Whoop!!" German player Eva Lys said that she was "tearing up" at the announcement.
Furthermore, the engagement news came right before the United Cup, where the couple might end up playing against each other as Great Britain and Australia are in the same group.
