Eva Longoria has got engaged to basketball star Tony Parker.
The 31-year-old actress has agreed to marry the 24-year-old San Antonio Spurs player and can't wait to tie the knot.
Eva's representative, Liza Anderson, said: "Eva and Tony are officially engaged. The couple have never been happier."
French-born Tony flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday (29.11.06) and surprised Eva at her home by getting down on one knee and proposing.
Anderson revealed: "The proposal was romantic and perfect."
'Desperate Housewives' star Eva and Tony, who briefly split in September but rekindled their romance during a trip to Paris, plan to marry in France next summer.
They want their forthcoming nuptials to be a "big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends."
Eva and Tony met in the San Antonio Spurs' locker room in November 2004.
They denied their romance at first, but in August 2005 the brunette actress confirmed they were a couple.
Eva revealed in April that she hoped to stay with Tony "forever".
This will be Tony's first marriage and Eva's second. She divorced 'General Hospital' actor Tyler Christopher in 2004 after two years.
