Actress Jennifer Connelly is now engaged to her A Beautiful Mind co- star Paul Bettany, according to a pal of the actress. Oscar-winner Connelly and Bettany, both 31, have been openly dating since May.

A source tells American magazine Us Weekly, "They became close on the set. Paul fell for her pretty quickly and knew he wanted to be with her."

Connelly, who has a son, Kai, five, from a previous relationship, "realized he was everything she wanted", says the source. The sexy screen star split from her previous actor boyfriend Josh Charles shortly before the Oscars ceremony in March.
