DHAKA: Scarlett Johansson is engaged to her French boyfriend Romain Dauriac, two and a half years after splitting from first husband Ryan Reynolds.

A publicist for the ‘Avengers’ star said, reports daily Hurriyet.

Following media reports, spokesman Marcel Pariseau told media, ‘I can confirm that Scarlett and Romain are engaged. They haven`t chosen a date for the wedding’.

He did not elaborate.

Dauriac, described as a French journalist, proposed to the 28-year-old a month ago, according to ‘People’ magazine, which cited a source as saying, ‘They’re engaged and very happy’.

Earlier this week the actress was spotted wearing a vintage Art Deco style diamond engagement ring while promoting her latest sci-fi film ‘Under the Skin’ at the Venice Film Festival in Italy, the Hollywood celebrity bible noted.

Johansson has been nominated four times for Golden Globes, including for her breakout turn in ‘Lost in Translation’ with Bill Murray in 2004 as well as in ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ the same year.

In 2005 she was shortlisted for ‘A Love Song for Bobby Long’, followed by a nod for her role in Woody Allen’s ‘Match Point’ in 2006.

More recently she played ‘Black Widow’ in 2012’s record-breaking blockbuster ‘The Avengers’, a role she is set to reprise in a sequel set for release in 2015.

She married Canadian actor Reynolds in 2008 but the couple announced their separation in 2010 and divorced the following year.
