Hollywood star Kate Beckinsale’s ex-husband Len Wiseman is engaged to marry his girlfriend CJ Franco.

The 50-year-old movie director popped the question to CJ, 32, while the couple were on holiday in Mexico.

CJ was spotted with a sparkling diamond ring on her finger as the newly engaged couple packed on the PDA while out and about recently.

Comedian CJ revealed details of how Len had proposed to her while they were enjoying a romantic dinner at their favourite restaurant Arbol at Las Ventanas.

She said in a recent interview with People: "He got down on his knee and said 'I know we’ve only know each other for a little while, so this may come as a shock.’"

CJ went on to say how fireworks went off as Len asked her to marry him and presented her with a ring he’d designed with Cartier.

The proposal evening was rounded off with the couple swimming in candlelight surrounded by rose petals.

However, the night didn’t go quite to plan when CJ realised her ring had gone missing.

The pair then spent the next 30 minutes frantically searching for the ring at the bottom of pool.

Len and CJ are said to have been dating since 2015 after they met at a 4th July part in Malibu.

She recently shared some snaps from their engagement last month with her 568,000 followers.

CJ captioned the sweet images: “Been keeping a little secret since 4th of July!

“I wanted to keep it quiet until we could share the news with our families in Northern California.”

Adding: “Super happy, swipe to see a photo from today!”

Len was previously married to British actress Kate, 50, with the couple together between 2004 and 2019 before getting divorced.

They also worked on the Underworld film trilogy together, which also starred Kate’s ex-partner Michael Sheen with whom she shares daughter Lily Mo.

Kate recently marked her 50th birthday with a big, star-studded bash involving bunny costumes and several glamorous outfit changes.

She was also pictured sporting a chunky ring on her finger, which lead some people to question whether she could be engaged again.

One fan called @greghickey24 posted underneath one of Kate’s Instagram birthday posts: “Are you engaged?????” with the Pearl Harbor star simply responding: “oh hell no.”
