The pair took to Instagram in a joint post on Sunday, uploading pictures from the moment including them embracing and Lorenze's gorgeous rock.
The caption of the photo posted out to Lorenze's one million followers simply read: 'Forever.'
Tennis stars, including those who shone at the All England club, have congratulated the pair on their engagement.
Aryna Sabalenka - who admitted she had a 'hate relationship' with Wimbledon after getting knocked out in the semi-finals - was amongst them.
Alongside a handful of love-heart eye emojis and starry-eyed emojis, she said: 'Congratulions.'
Coco Gauff - who was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon by Dayana Yastremska - commented too, echoing Sabalenka's message.
Victoria Azarenka joined in, also commenting her congratulations.
The pair are understood to have been together for three years and have built up a fan base on social media in that time.

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters review —haven't sharks suffered enough?
Who'd be a shark, eh? You mind your own business for millions of years, then along come humans and a film called Jaws, whicht gives you terrible PR — and makes them so terrified they want to trophy-hunt you to death. Then what happens? Everyone suddenly feels so bad that your numbers have been ravaged, the penny drops that you actually need protecting from humans (not vice versa), and the next thing you know celebrities are flying halfway across the world to peer at you while standing in the sea shrieking things like, 'Are my testicles safe?' Haven't sharks suffered enough? Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITV) marks 50 years since the making of Jaws, which it said made them one of the most feared and persecuted animals on the planet. And what better way to educate the public about them than transporting seven celebrities 4,000 miles away to the Bahamas to say repeatedly how frightened they are? Especially Helen George, aka Trixie in Call the Midwife, who revealed that she has a phobia about putting her head under water and then was required to go in an underwater cage circled by bull sharks. Er, Helen, maybe have a word with your agent. Wouldn't you be better off with a gig on Celebrity Sewing Bee? And what better way to calm their nerves than by introducing them to one of their instructors, Paul, who is missing an arm and a leg because they were bitten off by, yes… a bull shark! Cue exaggerated 'gulp' faces all round. This smacks of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here but in the water, not the jungle and with no Ant and Dec. And, hopefully, no horrible, performative eating of animals. I can't imagine anyone will tuck into a bowl of shark's fin soup. Anyway, there's also Sir Lenny Henry, Lucy Punch (aka the brilliant Amanda from Motherland), Ross Noble, Ade Adepitan, Rachel Riley and Dougie Poynter from McFly — but by the end of episode one only one of them had been bitten. Noble took a slight nip on the leg from a lemon shark and the comedian was quite funny about it. 'When you've been through something like that you view life differently,' he said, observing the barely visible graze to his wetsuit. If this show does help undemonise sharks then all power to its elbow — even if it does mean watching George surrounded by stingrays and shouting, 'It's coming right for my vagina!' No word yet on whether the stingray's lawyer is suing for defamation. Hopefully it will end the ridiculous phrase 'shark-infested waters'. Sharks live in the sea — it's us who invade their sanctuary. Fair play to the title's accuracy, though: these waters are indeed 'celebrity-infested'. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Wouldn't it be an interesting twist on I'm a Celebrity if, instead, the sharks were the ones snacking on some celebrities' genitals, declaring, 'Yuck, absolutely disgusting'? I daresay ratings would soar.★★★☆☆ Love TV?

She was pulled over after driving through a police blockade at an accident site. Mr Hughes said: 'Some people who were uninvited identified her as somebody who was on TV in a TV series.' 'They decided to take it upon themselves to begin making hurtful jibes towards Ms Bardsley. 'She recognises it was a colossal error of judgment to leave the party impetuously and get in her car.' He added: 'It's wasn't a flagrant disregard for the law. 'It was borne out of a set of circumstances and her quasi-celebrity status.' Bardsley had previously admitted drink-driving at South Cheshire magistrates' court. Yesterday, she got a 29-month road ban and must do 200 hours of unpaid work. Bardsley made no comment as she left court but tried to hide from waiting photographers by using an umbrella.

MasterChef's John Torode confirms he was accused of racism in Wallace review
The report, commissioned by MasterChef production company Banijay UK and led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found 45 out of 83 allegations against Wallace were substantiated, alongside two standalone allegations made against other people, including one for using racist language. In a post on Instagram, Torode confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language but said he had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. A post shared by John Torode (@johntorodecooks) His statement said: 'Following publication of the Executive Summary of the investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. 'For the sake of transparency, I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. 'The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. 'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Reports in The Sun said Torode had been asked to leave the show and claim he had mental health issues following the allegation. It comes after Wallace said he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused' and that he 'never set out to harm or humiliate' in the wake of the report, which included one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact' that was upheld. In November 2024, the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced that Wallace, 60, would step away from his role on MasterChef while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. In a statement to the PA news agency, he said: 'For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. 'None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended.' The report found that the 'majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018', with only one allegation substantiated after 2018. It also concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. The report noted that during the course of the investigation, which was over a seven-month period, Wallace was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and said that the findings should be viewed in the context of his neurodiversity. In his statement, Wallace added: 'I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark. I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. 'After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread. I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier. 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.' He praised the show's production company, Banijay, saying they had 'given me great support, and I thank them'. The former greengrocer added: 'There will be more casualties if the BBC continues down this path, where protecting its legacy matters more than protecting people. For my part, with full legal support, I will consider my next move.' Banijay UK said that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable' following the number of sustained allegations. Patrick Holland, chief executive of Banijay UK, said that while the report 'makes for uncomfortable reading', it also provided 'valuable insight to ensure that going forward everyone working on our productions feels safe and supported, and that inappropriate behaviour is quickly and professionally dealt with'. The BBC also said it has 'informed' Wallace that it has 'no plans to work with him in future', adding in a statement: 'This behaviour falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour, both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. We accept more could and should have been done sooner.' The BBC also addressed the future of a series of MasterChef filmed last year which has not yet been aired, saying it had not made a final decision on broadcasting it. Last year, a BBC News investigation revealed a string of allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and alleged inappropriate behaviour against Wallace by 13 people who worked with him across a range of shows over a 17-year period, including former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark. A statement from Wallace's lawyers at the time said that it 'is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature', as reported by BBC News. Ahead of the official publishing of the external review, Wallace claimed in an Instagram post on July 8, which appears to have been taken down, that he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him. The BBC has been approached for comment.
