Paraplegic former NRL star Alex McKinnon is set to tie the knot after proposing to his 23-year-old girlfriend Lily Malone in Paris, France.

The ex-Newcastle Knights player, 33, and his social worker fiancée took to Instagram on Sunday to share the happy news.

McKinnon could be seen gazing lovingly at Malone, who offered her outstretched hand to him just moments after he popped the question outside the picturesque illuminated Louvre Museum in the evening.

The bride-to-be donned a stunning backless white mini dress and matching kitten heels for the occasion, which McKinnon complemented.

He opted for a cream shirt over a white t-shirt, black jeans and sneakers.

In a carousel of photos to mark the milestone, the couple put on a PDA-filled display and shared a passionate kiss.
