Petra Nemcova engaged

Petra Nemcova is engaged to Jamie Belman.

The Czech model and British actor - who were first introduced through mutual friends eight months ago - got engaged before Christmas and spent the festive period celebrating with close friends and family according to Vogue.co.uk.

No details on the date or location of the wedding have been confirmed.

This is the second engagement for Petra whose first fiance British photographer Simon Atlee was tragically killed in the Indian Ocean tsunami tragedy in 2004.

The model has also dated 'You're Beautiful' singer James Blunt and was linked to Hollywood actor Sean Penn after attending Elton John's annual AIDS Foundation post-Oscar party with him in 2008.

Meanwhile fellow model Anja Rubik is also set to tie the knot after her boyfriend model Sasha Knezevic proposed on Christmas Eve.

Anja's agency Next Models New York revealed the happy news on twitter saying: "Congratulations to fantastic couple Anja Rubik and Sasha Knezevic, who were engaged on Christmas in Vienna!"

The couple starred in a Gap fragrance campaign together and have a DKNY fragrance campaign due for release later this year.
