She said yes! Matthew Morrison gets engaged to Renee Puente... but it's friend Elton John who announces the happy news

Most couples like to announce their own engagement.

But Glee star Matthew Morrison, 34, and new fiancee Renee Puente didn't get the chance after his friends Elton John and David Furnish announced the happy news to guests at their annual White Tie And Tiara Ball in London on Thursday.



According to Just Jared , Elton made it up to Morrison and his bride-to-be by serenading the couple in a duet of Your Song with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

It was a fitting tribute to the good-looking couple, who met at the same event two years ago.

Known for playing inspirational teacher Will Schuester on Glee, the actor has previously spoken out about his desire to marry pretty brunette Renee.

When asked if he wanted to marry the singer/songwriter, he said: 'I hope so, then maybe working on kids. Who knows? I've always wanted to have children, but when the holidays are here and I'm around kids more, I'm like, do I really want a kid?

'It's great to be able to enjoy them and then I'm like, okay, bye! Although when I'm 80 years old, I'm going to want kids and grandkids. That would be awesome,' he added.

Matthew also revealed his idea of a good night is to stay in and cook a romantic meal with his other half, rather than chatting to strangers at showbiz parties.

'In a business sense, it's important to be seen at some of [the parties] and speak with people you could work with in the future.



'But I'd much rather be at home with Renee,' he said.



'We love to cook, there's something about preparing a meal where you get to enjoy your creations together.'

Joining Matthew at Elton's bash were Uma Thurman, Liz Hurley, Jerry Hall and male model David Gandy.

The couple are currently in England while Matthew promotes his new album Where It All Began.

They also made an appearance together on Wednesday at a press night for the Sam Mendes-directed play Charlie And The Chocolate Factory at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
