Uma Thurman is engaged to her Swiss multimillionaire boyfriend, Arpad Busson, aka Arki. Thurman’s rep, Stephen Huvane, confirmed the engagement saying:

"I can confirm she is engaged."

Thurman received a ring with an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones. A source said:

"It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen. Arki did a wonderful job."

This will be the third marriage for Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Her marriage to Gary Oldman ended in 1992. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.

She is marrying for money, and he’s marrying for celebrity status.
