Jack Nicholson has much to celebrate after his grandson popped the question to his longtime girlfriend.

Duke Nicholson's new fiancée, Devon Lee Carlson, revealed the couple's happy news this week when she showed off her stunning three-stone engagement ring on social media.

The influencer and Wildflower Cases founder, 31, shared a close-up photo of her new bling on Instagram, revealing a sparkling round-cut diamond nestled between two smaller round diamonds on a thin gold band.

She also posted a celebratory photo of herself in a spacious walk-in closet, wearing a white mini dress and posing with her arm in the air and a huge smile on her face.

Leaving out details of Duke's proposal, Devon simply captioned the post with a white heart emoji and three white exclamation points.

Devon later shared another smiling selfie on her Instagram Stories, giving her followers another close-up view of her new accessory.

Duke doesn't have any public social media profiles but has attended several events with his now-fiancée after following in his grandfather's footsteps and becoming an actor.

"My interest in film was definitely there, but I didn't really think about it as a career path until I was probably 15 or 16," he told Highland Film Group.

Devon shared several celebratory photos

"Then again, I didn't really think about anything as a career path, so I guess it was just the first avenue I wanted to go down."

He continued: "Initially, I wanted to direct — that was my first thing. Then, in film class in high school, people asked me to act in their projects. I did that and was like, 'OK, I like this too.'

"I acted in a couple of music videos, short films, stuff like that, and then got a manager and started auditioning."

Duke has appeared in Jordan Peele's 2019 horror film Us and worked on 2024's The Trainer with Brad Pitt and Julia Fox. He also features on the cover of Lana Del Rey's album Norman [Expletive] Rockwell!

Duke and Devon, who share the same birthday, August 3, met backstage at a Lana Del Rey concert before reconnecting at a party months later, where they discovered their shared birthday.

Duke is an actor like his grandfather

The actor is the son of Jennifer Nicholson and her ex-husband Mark Norfleet. Jennifer is the only child of Jack and his ex-wife, Sandra Knight

Duke is one of Jack's five grandchildren. The oldest is his brother, Sean Knight Norfleet, 30, who works as a DJ and music producer. He made headlines in August 2025 when he was arrested in Los Angeles for felony domestic violence after allegedly assaulting a woman.

He is also a grandfather to his daughter, Honey Hollman's three children, Walter, 15, Daisy, 14, and Hank, nine.
