Friends favourite, David Schwimmer, has popped the question to his English girlfriend, Zoe Buckman.

The actor, who played Ross in the hit US series, asked Zoe to be his wife, not long after she moved to the US to live with him.

The actor met 24-year-old Zoe in 2007, when she was working at the Cuckoo Club in London as a waitress.

A friend told OK!: "David is smitten with Zoe and says she is ‘The One’. Things have moved very fast. He wanted to see how they got along living together and it has been a big success.

"He has been living with Zoe in Chicago while working on a stage show called Trust and they will probably make an announcement when they come back to Los Angeles. We are all bracing ourselves for good news. He has said we won't have to wait long."

A spokesperson for the 43-year-old actor and producer confirmed the engagement to OK! Big congratulations to the couple!
