Former 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, Orlando Bloom, and girlfriend, sexy supermodel, Miranda Kerr, are engaged to be married. The actor's rep confirms the couple's happy news to UsMagazine.com yesterday.

The pair has always kept their relationship on the down-low since they started dating in 2007 after meeting through a friend. The two have been tight-lipped about their relationship ever since they began dating in 2007 (they met through a friend).

Engagement rumours between Bloom and Kerr were especially rife since the beginning of the year, where Kerr had to personally address its inaccuracies. "No, we're not engaged. You can't always believe everything you read!" she told UK's Hello! magazine in February. "I think Orlando is an incredible man and he's a very genuine and authentic individual. I'm grateful that he's in my life."

Late last year, Bloom reveals that it is sometimes difficult to spend time together due to their busy schedules. "Miranda and I spend so much time apart; she's working hard, I'm working hard, so we have to grab time together whenever we can," he told reporters at the reopening of the famous La Mamounia hotel in Morocco. "A weekend here, a weekend there ... We are just enjoying our time together now."

Does this mean the gorgeous couple will make beautiful babies soon? Maybe not quite yet but Kerr, 27, told New York Post's Page Six in 2008 that she has "always wanted kids" and that someday, "it will happen".
