Brittany Murphy is engaged to boyfriend Joe Macaluso, the actress''s publicist tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The pair, who met when he was working as a production assistant on her 2004 romantic comedy Little Black Book, got engaged over the Christmas holidays, her rep said. The ring is a 3-4 carat Tiffany diamond.

No word yet on a wedding date.

Murphy gushed about her new fiancé to PEOPLE last year, saying: "I''m so happy right now. I feel so lucky."

On the professional side, Murphy, 28, will be featured on the dance track "Faster Kill Pussycat" for top deejay Paul Oakenfold''s upcoming album A Lively Mind, and she''s also the new face of the Dsquared clothing line. Her next film is Ed Burns''s The Groomsmen, due out in August.

Oooh i''d like to see what that looks like! I love her movies!

I really like her movies. And her. She isn''t one of those ''out there'' actresses you get sick of seeing and hearing about.

 

[Caribou]

I really like her...can you believe she was the girl from Clueless!!!

What a transformation.

I bet that ring is beautiful....small to Hollywood.

 

[moon river]

I know. She''s come a long way baby!!

I wonder if she will make it to the alter this time....

She seems really sweet. Did you know that she can''t drive? Doesn''t even have her license! Well, neither do I, but she''s got auditions to go to!

And I had heard they met when he was putting christmas lights up on her house years ago..
