The couple, who have been dating for over a year, revealed: "We couldn't be happier and are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives."

Jerry, who has previously dated ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, proposed to Rebecca at his family home in New York with a huge diamond ring.

However, they are yet to announce a wedding date.

This will be the second marriage for Rebecca, who was previously married to "Full House" star John Stamos. The couple split in April 2004 after five years of marriage.
