Score one for normalcy.

Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams has confirmed, without fanfare or baby bump, that she is engaged to her boyfriend of six years, actor Darren Legallo.

Adams' rep Megan Moss confirmed to E! News that the thespian couple will tie the knot sometime next year.

Legallo reportedly popped the question with an assist from a diamond bauble by French jewelry designer Jean Dousset of Beverly Hills. It's unclear when the bended-knee request took place, but a few eagle-eyed fans of Adams had already begun to speculate on a new piece of jewelry that had made its way onto the Enchanted star's finger.

As is the Hollywood way, the duo first crossed paths in an acting class and have been together ever since.

"It's really important to have someone to remind you who you are," Adams told USA Today earlier this year. "I'll run all over but come back to him, and I know who I am."

As do an increasing amount of fans.

In addition to starring in Enchanted, Adams, 33, was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for Junebug in 2006 and had a recurring role on NBC's The Office.

Next up, she stars opposite Meryl Streep in a pair of films, first as a nun in Doubt and then in Julie & Julia, in which Streep plays iconic chef Julia Child.
