It turns out "The Last Song" was only the beginning for Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.

The couple, who met on the set of that movie in 2009, announced their engagement today. Publicist Jeff Raymond confirms a People Magazine report of the news.

Hemsworth, the 22-year-old Australian star of "The Hunger Games," and Cyrus, the 19-year-old "Hannah Montana" star and singer, were engaged on 31 May. People reports that Hemsworth proposed with a 3.5-carat diamond ring.

Cyrus says she "looks forward to a life of happiness" with Hemsworth.

A message left with the publicist of Cyrus' father, Billy Ray, was not immediately returned.
