Jack Nicholson's future granddaughter-in-law made sure her engagement ring was front and center during her fiancé's movie screening on Tuesday, September 22.

Devon Lee Carlson, 32, accompanied her soon-to-be husband, Duke Nicholson, 27, to a special screening of his new film, The Deputy, but couldn't resist showing off her three-carat ring on the red carpet.

The couple both sported baseball caps during their casual-chic appearance at Landmark Theatres Sunset in Los Angeles, but it didn't take long for Devon to put her 19th-century trilogy ring in the spotlight.

Devon and Duke held up her left hand, offering photographers a clear view of the three-stone sparkler, and couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as they continued to bask in the joy of their June engagement.

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.

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 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.

"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."

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.
