Jack Black set to wed

King Kong star Jack Black is reportedly heading down the aisle after asking his new girlfriend Tanya Haden to marry him.

The actor proposed to Haden, an animator, after buying her a $220,000 (€177,882) ring from celebrity jeweller Neil Lane just after Christmas, according to American magazine In Touch.

The couple started dating last year after Black split from his longtime comedienne lover Laura Kightlinger.
