Calista Flockhart
Gossip

Coolest man alive Harrison Ford and Brothers and Sisters star Calista Flockhart are engaged to be married, sources close to the couple have confirmed.

Ford reportedly surprised Flockhart with an engagement ring on Valentine's Day weekend while the two were away on a family vacation with son Liam.

Calista Flockhart adopted Liam as a single mother when he was a newborn in January 2001. Harrison Ford formally adopted the child later, as well.

This will be Calista's first marriage and the third for Harrison.

He has two sons, Benjamin and Willard, with Mary Marquardt, and two children, Malcolm and Georgia, with Melissa Mathison. Ford also has three grandchildren.

The couple has been together for seven and a half years, many of which have been spent denying wedding rumors. No wedding date has been set yet.

It's been a busy weekend for wedding / engagement news, with Nastaha Bedingfield and Bruce Willis both tying the knot yesterday. Not to each other, of course. They married Matt Robinson and Emma Hemming, respectively.

Harrison Ford apparently learned his lesson after a whopping $85 million divorce settlement from his ex-wife, Melissa Mathison.

Yes. That was just the money Harrison Ford lost in his divorce settlement. Which means he had (and has) a lot more than that. This guy's net worth is in the ballpark of Tom Cruise.

It's perhaps not too surprising, then, that reps for Ford and his girlfriend, Calista Flockhart, are denying a recent report by Grazia magazine that the actor popped the question on April Fool's Day.

"They are not engaged," Flockhart's rep says.

"It's not true. They are not engaged," Ford's rep concurs.

We're not clear what their position is based on these quotes. But according to Grazia (via The Daily Mail), Ford allegedly had Flockhart's six-year-old son, Liam, help with the proposal.

A friend says, "He coached Liam to run up to [Calista Flockhart] and deliver to her a message - 'Mr. Ford is going to be my daddy.' Calista laughed but it was no joke. Harrison then told her he wanted to marry her. She's thrilled about the proposal and so is Liam."

The friend added:

"Harrison knows after five years that Calista is the last love of his life. He's been telling everyone that it felt like the right time."

That's sweet. Too bad this story is apparently about as real as Anna Nicole Smith's boobs, so there's no point in even discussing it anymore, really.

Can we just go back to the $85 million thing? Imagine if this is what you'd pay just to settle a divorce and move on. Even Kevin Federline only got $1 million (supposedly) in his recent settlement with Britney Spears.

Guess those Star Wars royalties have been awfully good to Ford.
