FILMMAKER Steven Spielberg’s daughter, Destry Allyn, announced she’s engaged to her “best friend,” actor Genc Legrand.

The 23-year-old, who has followed in her dad’s footstep as an entertainment professional, revealed the exciting news with a sweet photo of her and her new fiance.

Destry closed her eyes, while smiling against Genc’s cheek and wrapping her arms around his neck, showing off her diamond ring in the process.

He wore a backwards red hat and sunglasses, smiling directly at the camera.

The I Know This Much Is True actress, who is also a director and producer, captioned the engagement photo on Friday: “Holy cannoli, I’m engaged!!!

“I am so excited to take on life with my best friend! This is the best day ever!

"I love you so much @legrandgenc!!!”

Steven and actress wife Kate Capshaw’s daughter included a second picture in the post — a close-up of the two hold hands, giving fans a good look at her shining diamond ring, which was tagged to jewelry company VRAI.

On Saturday, Genc shared the same hand-holding jewelry shot to his own page, writing with it: “My little egg.”

Originally from Switzerland, Genc moved to the United States and studied at the Two Year Conservatory Program at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute before moving to Los Angeles to work on his acting career.

Friends and family were quick to wish the happy couple their congratulations and well-wishes.

Julianne Moore commented, “Wow!!! Congratulations,” while Elle Fanning wrote, “AHHH!! Congratulations you beautiful couple!!!!”

Actress-singer Rachel Crow said, “OH MY GOSH!!!!! CONGRATS,” and Ireland Baldwin posted, “congratulations babe!!!”

Kaitlyn Dever wrote, “BEAUTIFUL COUPLE! congrats des,” Sasha Spielberg commented with a heart eyes emoji and Stargirl actor Hunter Sansone said, “YESSSS! AHHH LOUD NOISES!”

At 23, Destry is the youngest of Steven’s seven children.

He also shares, with wife Kate, daughters Mikaela, 24 and Sasha, 30, and sons Sawyer, 28, and Theo, 31.

The director is also dad to Max, 35, from his previous marriage to actress Amy Irving and is step-father to Kate’s daughter, Jessica Capshaw, 43, from her marriage to Robert Capshaw.

Destry’s sibling closest in age, sister Mikaela, is also in the entertainment industry, working as an adult film star.

The 24-year-old revealed to The Sun earlier this year that she was embarking on a new career in porn and that her parents actually expected her to go into “taboo art.”

Mikaela revealed Steven and Kate “aren’t embarassed,” which she said was a “bit of a relief.”
