Time to feel old, as the former 'Malcolm in the Middle' star has proposed to longtime girlfriend Elycia Marie Turnbow.

Frankie Muniz, according to Us Weekly reported that his wedding is "set to take place in six months", and the Jonas Brothers may be guests.

Frankie's engagement was announced on Twitter: "After 4 years together, I'm so happy to be ENGAGED to the love of my life @ElyciaMarie!!!" On the same day, his fiancee also tweeted, "It's official.. I'm engaged!!!"

A domestic dispute last February 11 brought the police to their home in Phoenix, Arizona. It was then reported that the actor held a gun to his own head with a possible intent of committing suicide before hitting Elycia.

His representative later clarified in a statement that "a gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping." The rep added that the couple "have been together since the incident; are still together and are moving forward with their lives and with their relationship."
