The beautiful movie not only won award after award, but proved to be a beautiful match-maker too.

Jennifer Connelly is engaged to A Beautiful Mind co-star Paul Bettany. The couple have been openly dating since May, but just announced their plans to tie the knot.

Ms. Connelly ended her relationship with actor boyfriend Josh Charles right before the Oscar ceremony in March after spending so much time with Paul. A sourse says "Paul fell for her pretty quickly and knew he wanted to be with her. She realized he was everything she wanted too."

Although this will be the first marriage for both, it will be an instant family for Paul as Jennifer has a five-year-old son, Kai, from a previous relationship.
