'I was planning this for a while but nothing seemed more perfect than having family and friends together when we got engaged. 

'The last three years have been the best times of my life and I can’t wait to continue on with you and have every adventure you deserve.'

It's believed the happy couple met through work, with Zak previously photographing one of Betty's tours.

In the past, the singer has admitted she found it hard to find love while working in the music industry.

Speaking to Refinery29 in 2015, she explained: 'I don’t casually date. I definitely don’t Tinder. Finding a person who’s understanding is almost impossible. I’ve had two boyfriends in the last two years, and they’ve both been wonderful.

'I’m really grateful for the experiences I’ve had, but I’ll tell you what, breaking up on tour is the worst thing in the world. You don’t have the time to grieve a relationship. 

'But also, like, how many albums am I gonna write about the f****d-up relationships I had? I think that’s kind of the artist's lot in life, to not have normal relationships, because you have to fuel the fire somehow.'

In spite of previously being unlucky-in-love, the Somebody Loves You hitmaker has made no secret of her desire to settle down and start a family.

Betty said: 'I’m so excited about the prospect of motherhood. I want all the babies. That’s the part of my life I’m most looking forward to. 

'My business plan is to basically work really hard for the next, like, eight years, so when I go, "I'm gonna go have a bunch of babies with this man that I love," I can go do that.'
