Per usual, the reps are staying tight-lipped, but The Goss Wire is abuzz with whispers that Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan is engaged to marry her folk rocker boyfriend, Marcus Mumford.
Eat your heart out, Shia!
Mulligan, 26, and the 24-year-old Mumford & Sons singer first met during a concert in Nashville shortly after Mulligan’s sudden split from her former live-in beau (and Wall Street 2 co-star Shia LaBeouf). They’ve been dating for five months. Carey and Marcus even enjoyed a romantic weekend at the Babington House Hotel in Somerset earlier this month; that’s when the musician is believed to have popped the question.
A spywitness at the hotel tells The Sun: “Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream. She was wearing a beautiful diamond ring and didn’t seem to mind who saw it. They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.”
