usmagazine.com:

Off the market! Justin Long and Kate Bosworth are engaged.Long, 44, and Bosworth, 38, confirmed the news on the Tuesday, April 4, episode of his “Life is Short with Justin Long” podcast.“I did have a special thing planned around [Kate’s] birthday and about a month before that, life, like we were talking about, things change, and sometimes they change pretty drastically without any warnings,” the actor recalled to his fiancée. “It was a moment where it just felt so organic and it felt connected to something very, very deeply, profoundly personal that we were going through, like, a real life change, and so it came out in a very organic way.”After a therapy session, Long said his proposal “spilled out.”“We had just gone through this really hard thing and we had spoken to a therapist and we were trying to move through things at the time and she gave us a really great piece of advice which was: ‘Make sure that you’re pretty consistently asking the other what you need, or asking the other what they need,’” Bosworth noted. “I remember waking up not so many mornings after that therapy session and I looked at Justin and I said … I smiled at you, and I said, ‘What do you need?’ And he, like, really looked at me and he said, ‘To spend my life with you.’ And I smiled and I said, ‘Well, yeah, you have that.

Oh my gosh, you have that,’ and he said, ‘No, I mean I really want to spend my life with you.’”The news comes shortly after Bosworth sparked engagement speculation at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash on March 12.
