MEADOW Walker revealed she’s engaged to her actor boyfriend Louis Thornton-Allen.
The 22-year-old is the daughter of late actor Paul Walker, showed off her diamond engagement ring in an Instagram post on Monday.
The happy news comes seven years after the Fast & Furious star died tragically in a car crash.
Meadow could be seen in a swimming pool and held her hand to her face to flash the rock before floating away in a video she shared on Instagram.
‘BEST FRIEND’
In her caption, she put four simple hearts.
It appears the couple have been vacationing in the desert together and the proposal comes just weeks after they made their relationship Instagram official.
In July, Louis shared a cuddly snap of the couple and wrote: “Best friend,” to which she replied, “My love.”
Meadow was born in California on November 4, 1998, when her dad was 25 and dating Meadow’s mom Rebecca Soteros.
She is believed to be living in New York where she is an up and coming model.
GONE TOO SOON
Meadow was just 15 when her father was killed in a freak accident.
He died when the car he was a passenger in smashed into a tree in Valencia, California, on November 30, 2013.
Meadow inherited her father’s $20m fortune, and in 2015, set up The Paul Walker Foundation in honor of her father.
She regularly posts tributes to her father, marking his birthdays on social media and sharing photos on the anniversary of his death each year.
On the seventh anniversary of his death in November 2020, Meadow posted a snap of her napping on his chest.
‘REMEMBER IN SADNESS’
She wrote in the caption: “A silly day to remember in sadness. today’s a celebration of the love and happiness you brought to the world. here’s a photo of my best bud & I napping.”
After Meadow was born, Paul stayed in Hollywood while his daughter lived with her mother in Hawaii for 13 years.
However, TMZ reported that Meadow moved to California in 2011 to live with her father due to her mother’s alleged drinking problem.

After her father’s death, Paul’s mother Cheryl Walker petitioned to have guardianship over Meadow, citing Rebecca’s two DUIs as her grounds for guardianship.
Eventually, in 2014 she dropped her case when Rebecca agreed to undertake a rehabilitation program.
Since the custody battle, Rebecca has kept a very low profile.
