"We did get engaged on Dec. 26," Fox told People magazine on Tuesday. "And we are very happy!"

White, 27, presented Fox, 46, with an eight-carat diamond ring, according to the report.

"She is over the moon - so excited, so in love," a source close to Fox told the magazine. "She got the ring while they were staying at Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, over the holidays."

The two have been dating for more than a year, and the source tells People they want to start a family together.

"They are both eager to start their lives together and have a family," the source said. "She is so excited; it is heartwarming to be around her."

This will be Fox's second marriage. She and singer Christopher Harvest divorced in 2002.
