To which Justin replies: "I said yes!"

Jesse, 36, and 27-year-old Justin - who have been dating for nearly two years - hope their union will eventually be considered official everywhere in the United States.

They've also teamed up with Tie Bar to create a collection of bowties with all proceeds being donated to various organisations to help gay and lesbian couples receive civil rights.

While Jesse is now engaged, his Modern Family co-star and on-screen boyfriend Eric Stonestreet recently split from his long-term girlfriend.

The actor - who plays Cameron Tucker - and Broadway star Katherine Tokarz decided to end their three-year relationship "a couple of months ago".

His representative confirmed the split and said he's eager to finding love again, saying: "Eric is happy and looking to date."
