• Hans Zimmer popped the question in front of an audience of about 20,000 people on Thursday.
• The famed music composer proposed to his partner Dina De Luca at London's O2 Arena.

Love is in the air for Hans Zimmer, who proposed to his partner in front of around 20,000 people at London's O2 Arena on Thursday.

Toward the end of his concert, the famed music composer brought out his now-fiancé Dina De Luca to pop the question, the Los Angeles Times reported.

De Luca is the co-owner and creative director of New York City hotel The Lowell, and she was previously married to real-estate magnate Fouad Chartouni.

Meanwhile, Zimmer, who has won Academy Awards for his work on the soundtracks of films like "The Lion King" and "Dune," has been married twice before.

During his engagement speech, Zimmer referred to De Luca as "the woman I love," per the LA Times.

A video shared by a fan on Twitter showed the audience gave the couple a standing ovation as soon as De Luca nodded yes to Zimmer's proposal.

According to The Associated Press, Zimmer, 65, took a moment before popping the big question, initially asking De Luca why she believed he wanted her onstage.

"Why did I bring you up here? I was going to ask you something really important," Zimmer said, jokingly. "Did you lock the back door? Is the milk in the fridge? Do we have any sorbet in the freezer?"

After the proposal, the LA Times reported that Zimmer performed one last track — "Time" from Christopher Nolan's "Inception." Earlier in the show, he had played some of his most well-known music from blockbuster movies such as "Gladiator" and "The Dark Knight," The AP reported.

Representatives for Hans Zimmer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.
