Taking girlfriend Abi Harrison to a lookout spot at sunset, David made her turnaround to look at the view before dropping to his knee behind her.
Noticing something was up, Abi turned around and immediately said yes, with the pair embracing as the sun went down.
In a collection of photos on Instagram, David shared the happy moment, as well as a look at the square-cut diamond ring as they celebrated.
He wrote alongside the pic: "This years Ibiza turned out to be a bit more eventful than normal."
Friends and fans alike were quick to swarm the pair with celebratory messages, congratulating them on their upcoming nuptials.
James Sutton, who plays John-Paul McQueen, led the celebrations with a simple: "YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
Isabelle Smith, who plays Frankie Osbourne, added: "congratulations !!! ❤️❤️❤️"
"Congratulations both of you! Amazing news ❤️," added another follower, while a fourth wrote: "About time lad 🤣 congratulations 🥳"
Abi and David have been together since 2019, with the couple going on to have two children together over the past six years.
The pair had been together less than a year when they decided to move in together due to the Covid lockdown.
Hollyoaks' David Tag reveals he's opening his own gym after struggling to find work after being killed off soap-
Their first baby boy, Reuben, was born in 2021, with the couple welcoming their second child - another boy named Kaspar - in 2023.
David joined Hollyoaks in 2018 as Sylver, part of the ever-growing McQueen family.
The adopted brother of Goldie McQueen, he arrived in Chester having spent 18 years in prison after being accused of murdering Goldie's abusive biological father.
He went on to marry cousin Mercedes McQueen in 2019, and later killed his adoptive mother Breda – who turned out to be a serial killer.
In the four years he lived in the Hollyoaks village, Sylver found himself consistently in tricky situations: discovering he had a daughter, who later tried to make Mercedes look mentally unwell in order to gain his affection, ending up in a coma when that went wrong, before eventually dying in a building collapse.
Since leaving the show, David has launched his own fitness business and appearing in indie flick, Departures.

Visa & Smirnoff demand Channel 4 pull their ads from Bonnie Blue documentary after viewers left outraged
VISA, Smirnoff and other businesses have demanded Channel 4 remove their adverts from their documentary about porn star Bonnie Blue. The film 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which was broadcast last Tuesday, was slammed by firms who did not want their products aligned with the controversial OnlyFans figure. 4 Bonnie Blue left viewers outraged in her new documentary Credit: Instagram/@bonnie_blue_xox 4 A slew of brands have demanded Channel 4 remove their ads from the programme Credit: Channel 4 The shocking documentary revealed behind-the-scenes footage for Bonnie Blue's desperate challenge where she aimed to sleep with 1,000 men in 12 hours. She ended the challenge having had sex with 1057 men, topping Lily Phillips' 100 men record. The documentary showed video of Blue, 26, real name Tia Billinger, having sex with three men simultaneously as well as showing the run-up to a schoolgirl-inspired orgy. Channel 4 has also been criticised for making the documentary freely available on its app and online where it is easily accessible by teenagers, outside of the television watershed. While people under 18 are technically blocked from watching the documentary, there is also no age verification process to prevent children from lying about their date of birth. Children's commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza said: 'This documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising, the things young people tell me are frightening, confusing and damaging to their relationships.' Ian Katz, chief content officer at Channel 4, defended the documentary, telling the Sunday Times that it is "clearly a legitimate subject" as Bonnie Blue is a "huge phenomenon" who has "transformed the porn industry". He also claimed Blue was sufficiently challenged about her actions in the programme. 'She's got massive influence on the way that millions of young men, sadly, think about sex,' he said. 'She [the documentary maker] did challenge [Blue] a few times but this wasn't a Today programme interview. "This was an observational documentary, and the idea of that approach is to get the audience up as close to the reality of a story, and then let them decide what they think about it. "And I think a huge proportion of the audience would be deeply horrified by what they saw and reach their own conclusions.' We recently revealed how viewers were left outraged at Bonnie after she claimed she was a "community worker" while sleeping with 1,000 men. Bonnie said she sees herself as someone who is teaching men how to have better sex and describes the 1,000-men event as 'giving back' to her fans. In the same breath, she argued that she's 'not a world educator' and can't be held responsible for the culture of sexualisation our children are growing up in. Viewers online were quick to react with many on X branding it "disgusting" while another said that the whole documentary was a "disgrace". Many others took offence to her outrageous comment that her sex acts were a "community service". Angry viewers blasted her for "trying to normalise this behaviour" by influencing "impressionable" teenagers with "sick" views. But Bonnie also hit back at the people who have a problem with her in the documentary. She said critics are 'fat women who stay at home' and admitted she had no qualms about having sex with married men whose wives are 'lazy' in the bedroom. 4 Bonnie talking to her mum in the documentary Credit: Channel 4

Harry Styles spotted enjoying Rome and Vatican with Belgian designer as ex-1D star continues love affair with Italy
The pair were also spotted wandering the back streets carrying a bottle of wine HARRY'S NEW ROME-ANCE Harry Styles spotted enjoying Rome and Vatican with Belgian designer as ex-1D star continues love affair with Italy HE has made no secret of his love for Italy – and now it seems Harry Styles is enjoying showing off his favourite spots there. The former One Direction singer was seen wandering through Vatican City and Rome with Belgian-Congolese designer Kim Mupangilai last Friday. 8 Harry Styles was seen wandering through Vatican City and Rome with Kim Mupangilai Credit: Instagram 8 Former 1D singer Harry has made no secret of his love for Italy Credit: Getty 8 Belgian-Congolese designer Kim Mupangilai Credit: Instagram Harry was seen walking in front of St Peter's Basilica with New York-based designer Kim, who has appeared on the cover of high-end interior mags. The pair were also spotted wandering through the back streets of Rome — with Harry carrying a bottle of wine. A source said: 'Harry loves nothing more than showing people his favourite spots in Italy. 'He also loves art and Kim has been a great source of inspiration.' Kim, who grew up in Antwerp, Belgium, has shared pictures on her Instagram of The Loggia Of Cupid And Psyche — a mural depicting a love affair — at the Villa Farnesina in Rome. She also posted snaps of red peppers drying on a rooftop in Ravello on Italy's Amalfi Coast. It comes as Harry is rumoured to have fallen in love with the small Italian village of Civita di Bagnoregio. The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker spent the pandemic learning Italian and sign language. During his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2023, Harry thanked 120,000 fans in Italian. Speaking in their language, he said: 'The last two years of my life have been a wonderful gift and it is truly very special to end my tour here, in a country that has a special place in my heart.' Harry Styles' mystery woman revealed after Glastonbury snog - and she's VERY different to the women he's dated before In June, the singer was seen sharing a passionate kiss with producer Ella Kenny at Glastonbury Festival. It came after his relationship with actress Taylor Russell ended in May last year. He was seen kissing model Emily Ratajkowski on a night out in 2023 and has previously dated model Kendall Jenner, singer Taylor Swift and actress Olivia Wilde. Last month, Harry launched his own vibrating sex toy and lubricant through his lifestyle brand, Pleasing. Alongside his new passion as a tour guide, it seems that Harry has many strings to his bow. DUA RULES AT FEST 8 Dua Lipa performs at Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo Credit: Supplied DUA LIPA gave an electric performance at the Sunny Hill Festival in the capital of Kosovo on Friday. The annual event, which she organises with her family, also saw her sing on stage with her dad Dukagjin. Posting on Instagram, she wrote: 'This festival is something my family and I created with so much love for our city Pristina. 'And to see it come to life like this is beyond anything I could've dreamed of.' The New Rules hitmaker also revealed that she has been granted Kosovan citizenship. The singer was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents and briefly lived in Pristina when she was a child. Posting a number of snaps from the weekend, including a selfie with her certificate, she wrote: 'Got my Kosovo citizenship the night before then partied hard at Sunny Hill Festival the night after!!!' HEIDI READY FOR SUGA HIT ON TV 8 Heidi Range will recount her days in the pop group Sugababes Credit: Getty HEIDI RANGE is set to lift the lid on her tumultuous time in the Sugababes in explosive BBC documentary Girlbands Forever. The singer will sit down with interviewer Louis Theroux to recount her days in the pop group, which has had six members over the years, including the original (and current) line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, as well as former members Jade Ewen and Amelle Berrabah. A source close to the project, which follows last year's Boybands Forever, said: 'Heidi has never spoken about what went on. 'Louis reached out to her directly and she finally agreed to take part a couple of weeks ago. It was an emotional interview and one that viewers will want to watch.' Last year, the Sugababes were handed a gong at the Mobo Awards, but Heidi's mum hit out after her daughter was 'white-washed' from the nomination video. She wrote on Instagram: 'I can't believe the cheek of it. Sugababes didn't have a hit till Heidi joined. It is so false and disrespectful the way they are carrying on.' Mutya hit back: 'When I wasn't in the group and the girls was doing big things without me, do you think I was getting upset about not being mentioned?' A spokesman for the original trio declined to comment. Forget the Suga – things might be about to turn very sour again. GENT IS IN LOVE 8 Tom Rhys Harries and songwriter Amy Allen Credit: Getty THE Gentlemen actor Tom Rhys Harries has just landed the starring role in DC Studios' Clayface, the villain and ally of Batman. But I can reveal the Welsh hunk is also a leading man in American songwriter Amy Allen's life. The pair soft-launched their relationship on Instagram, with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy sharing snaps of their holiday to Spain. A source told me: 'Tom and Amy are in the honey-moon phase and are the new power couple in town. 'Tom is a rising star in the film industry and Amy has fast become the first person pop stars want to work with.' Earlier this year, Amy scooped the Grammy Award for Songwriter Of The Year – the first woman to win the gong since its introduction in 2023. Amy penned Sabrina Carpenter hit tracks Espresso and Please Please Please as well as co-writing Adore You and Matilda for Harry Styles. Sounds like Tom and Amy will make sweet music together. OLIVIA SHOWS METAL 8 Olivia Rodrigo dazzles in a sparkly silver halter neck corset and mini skirt Credit: Getty OLIVIA RODRIGO pulled off a dazzling performance at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. The Good 4 U hitmaker wore a sparkly silver halter neck corset and mini skirt as she took to the stage on Friday. Sabrina Carpenter and A$AP ROCKY are set to top the bill at the festival tonight. In June, Olivia headlined Glastonbury, describing it as the 'best weekend there ever was'. I was there and can vouch for that. PUB JOB FOR SAM BEFORE rising to fame on Eurovision in 2022, Sam Ryder started out singing in boozers – and now he has been appointed Head of Gigs for Greene King Pubs to help support up-and-coming artists. Sam, who dropped new single The Feeling Never Went Away from his upcoming album Heartland on Friday, said: 'Pubs provided a place for me to actually learn how to play in front of people. 'Before the pub stage, you just played guitar in your bedroom as loud as it could go. 'At pubs, you got the chance to hone your craft and learn different songs, create a little catalogue, get the expertise of actually playing in front of people.' I couldn't agree more, Sam. CRUZ BECKHAM is taking his new band on tour next month, branding his indie music style as 'nepo rock'. Having assembled a group of musicians, David and Victoria's youngest son will start with a series of gigs in London pubs. 8 Cruz Beckham is taking his new band on tour next month Credit: Getty Confirming the news on Instagram, Cruz posted a video of him crooning to a Tom Petty cover, but added, 'Originals are coming soon', and 'Nepo rock is the new genre'. A source said: 'Cruz is determined to prove he can earn his crust on his own merit.' With the amount of celeb offspring in music, nepo rock could be here to stay . . .
