A Scottish Conservative spokesman said: "Normally we wouldn't comment on personal issues but everybody in the party will want to wish Ruth and Jen the very best."
The engagement follows the Holyrood election in which Ms Davidson led her party to become the second largest in the Scottish Parliament, overtaking Labour with 31 seats.
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale, who recently revealed she has a female partner, tweeted: "Massive congratulations to you both from Louise and I."
