Steven Tyler thrilled with daughter's engagement

Steven Tyler is delighted with his daughter's recent engagement.

The Aerosmith frontman has expressed his joy following the news that his 25-year-old daughter Chelsea with ex-wife Teresa Barrick, will wed actor-and-musician Jon Foster, 29.

Tyler gushed in a statement to People: "I fell in love with Jon the minute I met him, and Chelsea loves him over the moon. Jon is a great fellow musician and actor. I couldn't be happier."

Foster, who is the younger brother of 'Lone Survivor' star Ben Foster, asked permission from the 'I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing' singer for his daughter's hand in marriage at her birthday party in March.

Tyler said: "It was beautifully old-fashioned. And it meant the world to me when he came to me and asked for her hand in marriage."

The 66-year-old star also expressed his joy on Twitter, writing: "MY BABY GIRL @CHELSEATTYLER IS ENGAGED TO @INTHEJON!!! I'M OVER THE MOON...LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH (sic)"

Foster’s engagement follows in the footsteps of his older brother, Ben, 33, who got engaged to House of Cards actress Robin Wright in November.

Chelsea has a brother, Taj, and two half-sisters, The Lord of the Rings actress Liv and model Mia.
