Scarlett Johansson is engaged to actor Ryan Reynolds, it has been claimed.

The 'Lost in Translation' actress, who has been dating Ryan for almost a year, is said to be smitten with the 'Smokin' Aces' star and has accepted his marriage proposal.

A source said: "We can expect an engagement announcement from Ryan and Scarlett any day now. They are very much in love and have decided to take the next step. Scarlett is thrilled!"

Scarlett, 23, and Ryan, 31, were first seen together at a New York cinema last April, shortly after Ryan ended his engagement to fellow Canadian Alanis Morissette.

The couple first sparked engagement rumours last year, when Scarlett and Ryan flew to Canada to meet his parents.

Scarlett previously dated her 'Black Dahlia' co-star Josh Hartnett for two years.

Josh, who has remained good friends with Scarlett since their split, has joked about finding the "perfect" photograph for her bachelorette party invitations.

A source added to the New York Daily News newspaper: "Josh has the funniest picture of Scarlett on his phone. They're at home having dinner and she's brandishing a carving knife over a chicken like a slasher, and making a face. It would look perfect on the invitation for the bachelorette party!"
