A "Desperate" Engagement
Wisteria Lane's most salacious single is off the market.
Nicollette Sheridan, who plays oversexed Desperate Housewives vamp Edie Britt, has gotten engaged to boyfriend and fellow actor Nicklas Soderblom, her publicist confirmed Monday.
The couple have not disclosed a wedding date.
News of the betrothal first came courtesy of Star magazine, which reported the twosome had spent New Year's at the Little Nell Hotel in Aspen, Colorado, with the 41-year-old Sheridan flashing a sizable rock.
This will be Sheridan's second trip to the altar, having previously been married to L.A. Law alum Harry Hamlin from 1991 to 1993. Famous former boyfriends include crooner Michael Bolton and onetime teen idol Leif Garrett.
As Paige Matheson on the prime-time sudser Knots Landing from 1986 to 1993, Sheridan was a Hollywood pinup, scoring a nod as one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1990. But after Knots ended, she was consigned to a string of forgettable flicks (Raw Nerve, .com for Murder ) and TV movies (Virus, Dead Husbands) before resurfacing this season in the smash hit Desperate Housewives.
The show, a soapy, campy take on suburbia, has become ABC's biggest hit. It ranks behind only CSI as the most watched show on TV, averaging 22.6 million viewers in its Sunday-night time slot, and its stars have graced the covers of nearly every glossy on newsstands.
Sheridan recently scored a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe nomination for her role. In total, the show scored five Globe nods, including Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy, and Best Actress, Musical or Comedy Series for costars Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman.
Sheridan also made headlines earlier this year for her steamy Monday Night Football promo where she dropped a towel for Philadelphia Eagles star Terrell Owens. The FCC is currently reviewing complaints that may result in an indeceny fine for ABC.
The Swedish-born Soderblom, meanwhile, is an actor whose most notable credit is, per IMDb.com, as "Mobster Assistant" in the 1997 Traci Lords-headlined thriller Stir. He also appeared as "Featured Male Talent" in the 2000 Playboy video Wet & Wild: Slippery When Wet and had a guest shot as "Juice Bar Attendant" on a 2001 installment of Spin City.
