It's taken them some time, but it looks like Rhys Ifans and Sienna Miller are finally engaged!

(And when we say "finally", it's only because in Hollywood, getting engaged at any point past the, say, three-month anniversary is like, totally taking it too slowly. And staying married for more than six months is a long haul worthy of a telegram from the Queen, or something.)

Who do we have to thank for distributing this happy news? Why, Ifans' mum, naturally!

Ifans' mum Beti-Wyn Evans revealed she's delighted at the prospect of having Miller as her daughter-in-law.

She said: "They adore each other and I am so pleased for them. They make a fantastic couple. We think she is lovely, absolutely fantastic."

No doubt this will be vindication to poor old Rhys, who was rather unfairly used to illustrate this Daily Mail story on beautiful women being more likely to have happy relationships with ugly men.

Come on, Rhys, ugly? We'd tap that, even in his grotty Reg Grundies from Notting Hill! Actually, come to think of it, especially in them...
