Some of the world’s most eligible stars gave up their single status this year and decided to put a ring on it – including one of Hollywood’s most famous bachelors, George Clooney. The actor proposed to beautiful British barrister Amal Alamuddin in April, with the couple making their love official just a few months later in a romantic Venice ceremony.

Most recently, beloved Benedict Cumberbatch broke hearts all over the world when he announced his engagement to theatre-director Sophie Hunter with a paid announcement in The Times.

Then, of course, there was entrepreneur-turned-reality-TV-star Tim Warmels, who found love on City's The Bachelor Canada and popped the question to this season's fan favourite, April Brockman.

Still, other famous faces – like Olivia Palermo, who is now wed to Johannes Huebel – took to social media to flaunt their new fiancée status.
