Romantic Shane Warne proposes to Elizabeth Hurley

When Aussie cricket star Shane Warne gushed to a radio station about being in love with girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley last month, he did not share any plans for marriage.


"If I've got some sort of news I'll be more than happy to share it with you," he said.


Or Tweet it? On Saturday, both Warne, 41, and Hurley, 46, sent identical Tweets that read: "Thanks for all your congratulations. Here's a pic of us about to go to Dunhill dinner in St Andrews."


The Daily Mail first reported the news and ran a photo online of her wearing a sizeable sapphire on her ring finger.


However, a close friend of Warne said the engagement took place weeks ago.


The couple haven't hid their affection for each other on the golf course at St Andrews, where Warne competed in a celebrity pro-am.


The Aussie cricket legend arrived back in the UK early last week after spending time in New York City with Hurley, where she is filming Gossip Girl.


They are set to arrive in Melbourne later in the month, as Warne prepares to launch the new Crown Bar Club 23 with friend Joe Hachem.


The couple have been dating for about 10 months after Warne split with wife Simone and Hurley husband Arun Nayer.


Warne couldn't be reached for comment.
