We’re only a few days into 2012, but the celebrity engagement news is coming in fast and furious! The latest celebrity to announce her engagement is the former wild child, Drew Barrymore, who said yes to fiance Will Kopelman over the holidays.
The actress has been dating her beau, an art consultant, for just about a year and reportedly became engaged while vacationing in Sun Valley, Idaho over the Christmas holidays. This will be the third marriage for the “Charlie’s Angels” star.
The news of the upcoming nuptials adds her high profile name to a growing list of A-List celebs getting ready to walk down the aisle in 2012. Here’s a look at some of the stars who have gotten engaged recently:
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: They may not be talking about their engagement, but his grandma says the on-again / off-again couple is set to tie the knot. The couple have been dating for more than four years, but momentarily split last spring before finding their way back to each other.
Britney Spears: Oops, she did it again! The singer accepted the proposal of her former manager on December 15th. It looks like the third time just may be the charm when the popstar walks down the aisle with fiance Jason Trawick later this year. For now she’s happy to show off her brand new engagement ring on Facebook.
Leah Messer: She’s no longer “16 and Pregnant”. The “Teen Mom 2″ star is moving on from her first failed marriage to her second wedding with news of her engagement to boyfriend Jeremy Calvert. The big kicker — the two may be expecting their first child. The reality star divorced Corey Simms, the father of her twin daughters, earlier this year. Guess we’ll have to wait to see if there is a spinoff, “19 and Pregnant Again”.
Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza: They already have a two-year-old daughter together, so it seems appropriate that the couple finally take a walk down the wedding aisle. The “Extra” star finally popped the question to his Broadway actress girlfriend on New Year’s Eve after four years together. They plan on tying the knot in Mexico later this year.
