Collins is the daughter of one of the greatest drummers in rock history, Phil Collins, while McDowell is the son of actress Mary Steenburgen and actor Malcolm McDowell.
The pair first began dating in 2019, and in August of that year they made it official, when the actress shared some snaps of the two in France while filming Netflix'sEmily in Paris.
Collins announced her engagement in September 2020 on her Instagram account.
"I've been waiting my whole life for you and I can't wait to spend our life together," she captioned the post, along with two photos of the proposal.
Collins' ring, a bezel-set rose-cut diamond with a thin gold band, is one of a kind, according to a representative for Irene Neuwirth, who created the piece.
