Uma Thurman gets engaged

Uma Thurman is engaged to her Swiss multimillionaire boyfriend, Arpad “Arki” Busson, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“I can confirm she is engaged,” Stephen Huvane said on Friday.

In return for saying yes, the actress received some serious sparkle: an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones. “It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen,” says a close source of the diamond ring. “Arki did a wonderful job.”

The pair began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan. Since then, their relationship quickly heated up despite the fact that the couple lived on different continents (she is based in New York, he in London).

It would be the second marriage for Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.

No wedding date has been set.

Actually, this would be Uma’s third marriage - before Ethan, she was married to actor Gary Oldman from 1990-1992. Congrats to the couple, and let’s hope this marriage works out for Uma.
