It looks like the Bride will be giving the altar another shot.

Uma Thurman has gotten engaged to her Swiss financier beau, Arpad "Arki" Busson, her rep, Stephen Huvane, confirms to E! News.

The New York Daily News, which was the first to break the news of the betrothal, quoted a friend of the Kill Bill star saying Busson popped the question in London this week while they were in town for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday bash, surprising Thurman with a diamond ring so big "she can't fit it through the sleeve of her coat."

Thurman reportedly flashed the rock for the first time at Elton John's British manor house for his 10th Annual White Tie and Tiara benefit.

No word yet on when Thurman and Busson plan to swap vows.

This will be the 38-year-old Oscar nominee's third stab at holy matrimony. She was briefly married to Gary Oldman from 1990 to 1992 and then to her Gattaca costar Ethan Hawke from 1998 to 2004, a union that produced two children, Levon and Maya, and plenty of tabloid fodder.

Thurman had a three-year relationship with hotel magnate André Balazs before hooking up with Busson last year. The multimillionaire moneyman from Switzerland swept Thurman off her feet at a dinner in Milan and has been by her side ever since, including during last month's courtroom showdown between the actress and her stalker.

Busson is no stranger to the sirens' call, having previously been engaged to Aussie supermodel Elle "The Body" Macpherson, a relationship that produced two kids. They split in 2005 before tying the knot.

Let's hope things work out better this time around.
