Fans couldn’t help but show their support for Liam Payne and Maya Henry after the One Direction singer confirmed his engagement to his girlfriend during an appearance on a morning show on Thursday.

As a result, “Congrats Liam and Maya” began trending on Twitter as fans sent the couple well wishes and applauded them over the major milestone in their relationship.

Fans rallied around Payne shortly after the 27-year-old appeared on “Good Morning America” and confirmed the engagement. “We’re just really happy. Last week I just had a birthday, and my son is going to school for the first time today,” he said.

“It seems like a lot of firsts for me, really, actually, which is great,” he added.

Payne, who shares a 3-year-old son with ex-girlfriend Cheryl Cole, celebrated his birthday on Aug. 29.

Henry and Payne first sparked engagement rumors last week when the 20-year-old was photographed wearing what appeared to be a diamond engagement ring while the two had dinner in London.

During Payne’s morning show appearance, fans were eager to share their thoughts about the big announcement.

“We are very happy for you, you deserve much happiness, we love you very much and we hope you are much happier than you already are. CONGRATS LIAM AND MAYA,” one person tweeted, adding to the trending topic.

Another fan added, “Congratulations Liam and Maya! I am very happy for you, I wish you the best in your marriage <3 CONGRATS LIAM AND MAYA.”

Meanwhile, another supporter admitted that they were grateful that the couple found one another. “CONGRATS LIAM AND MAYA! The both of you look so incredibly happy, and I can’t even explain how thankful we all are that you both found each other. I wish you both a beautiful future,” the individual wrote.

While Payne went on to speak about his career and One Direction bandmates during his interview on “GMA,” he kept mum about wedding plans.
