No, no. Gabriel Aubry is not engaged.

But Halle Berry's other ex, Eric Benet is!

After three years together, Benet decided to pop the question to his girlfriend, Manuela Testolini. So how'd he do it?

The musician, whose marriage with Berry ended six years ago, proposed to Testolini in November with an antique diamond ring, People reports.

"During a romantic dinner I decided to finally let Manuela hear 'Never Want to Live Without You,' a song off my new album that I had written for her," Benet says. "I sang it to her, then got down on one knee and proposed."

Sweet!

His wife-to-be, and ex-wife of singer Prince, is an entrepreneur and founder of the charity In a Perfect World, which "inspires and empowers children to become compassionate, socially conscious and responsible leaders."

The wedding is set for the summer, but for now, the couple are enjoying their engagement news together while on vacation in Egypt.
