WASHINGTON: American actor, director, and writer Ryan Phillippe is in love as he recently got engaged to his girlfriend Paulina Slagter, whom he has been dating for four years. Sources confirmed that the 41-year-old actor is engaged to his 25-year-old girlfriend, but no details on how the proposal went down have been released.

However, it is being said that he proposed her on Christmas, reports E! Online. The insider added that the duo arrived in Miami on December 27, where Slagter was seen flaunting her engagement ring.

Phillippe was last famously married to Reese Witherspoon. The former flames have 16-year-old daughter, Ava as well as 12-year-old son, Deacon, together. In 2007, the duo’s divorce was finalised after eight years of marriage.
