Actress Maria Bello is engaged to musician/waiter Bryn Mooser, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

Bello, 41, and Bryn, 28, announced the news in her hometown paper, The Norristown Times Herald of Norristown, PA.

They “fell in love over a sheer passion of politics, Africa and crypto-zoology,” the paper reported.

“He’s beautiful inside and out—a great human being,” Bello told Page Six Magazine. “He has more character in his little finger than any man I’ve ever met.”

The couple has been together for a year-and-a-half after meeting at the restaurant where he works.

“We had been looking at each other,” she has said.

She made the first move at her cousin’s birthday.

“I walked up and said, ‘Can you take this cake and put a candle in it? And by the way, do you have a girlfriend?’ From that night on, we’ve been together,” she told Page Six.

Bello has a seven-year-old son, Jackson Blue, from ex-boyfriend Dan McDermott (they split four years ago).

She stars in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which will hit theaters this Friday.

The couple have not announced a date for their nuptials.
