Nothing before its time!

On the Sept. 5 edition of Live From E!, Catt Sadler, Ken Baker and Will Marfuggi debated whether Scarlett Johansson's recent engagement to Romain Dauriac happened too soon for the couple, who didn't take their romance public until November 2012. Given that the actress is notoriously private about her personal life, the timing seemed strange, given Johansson's promotional duties at the Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival.

According to the star herself, however, the French journalist's proposal couldn't have come at a better time. "My friend was like ‘congrats on timing,'" Johansson, 28, tells ET Canada. "Things work out the way they do. Maybe it's better just to get it out of the way."

The actress' rep confirmed the couple's engagement last week, telling E! News, "They haven't chosen a date for the wedding." Johansson, of course, was previously married to Ryan Reynolds.

Luckily for Johansson, her media tour is nearly over now that Under the Skin has premiered in Toronto. "It is the last time I will see it with an audience," she tells ET Canada. "The making of the film is very personal and the journey itself is a personal one. I felt like I was waiting for people to get up and leave."

Here's to a lifetime of happiness!
