On Saturday, reps for Uma Thurman confirmed that she was engaged to her boyfriend of one year, Arpad Busson. Uma is mostly known for her role as Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and she has also starred in Kill Bill and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Arki, as he’s known to friends, is a financial expert. From People,

“I can confirm she is engaged,” Stephen Huvane said on Friday. New York’s Daily News was first to report the engagement.

On Saturday, the couple themselves made the announcement, on page 75 of London’s The Times.

Under the heading “Mr A. Busson and Miss U. Thurman,” it reads, “The engagement is announced between Arpad, son of Mr Pascal Busson, of Paris, and Mrs Florence Harcourt-Smith, of South of France, and Uma, daughter of Mr and Mrs Robert A. F. Thurman of New York.”

In return for saying yes, the actress received some serious sparkle: an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones. “It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen,” says a close source of the diamond ring. “Arki did a wonderful job.”

Well and with all that money you would hope so. I guess the next order of business is a prenup. Not only do these two both have scads of money but they have also both proven that they may not be experts in the relationship department. Uma is hoping that the third time’s the charm as she has been married to Gary Oldman, which ended in 1992 and she then married Ethan Hawke. Four years and two children later, that marriage also ended in heartache. Oldman has never been married but did have two children with his longtime girlfriend Elle Macpherson.

Why Bryan Adams and Elle Macpherson insist on keeping their relationship a secret is beyond me. I mean, he’s a super hot rocker and she is a super hot supermodel. It makes sense that they would come together given the opportunity so why don’t they think that other people will understand that?

They were first seen together when Adams held a show to promote his photographic portraits that are titles, “Modern Muses.” Ace Show Biz reports,

“Elle, who attended the launch of Bryan’s new exhibition of photographic portraits “Modern Muses” in London members’ club The Hospital, and Bryan “were all over each other, flirting outrageously and couldn’t keep their hands or eyes off each other,” a source claimed.

However, it was not at the Mexican-themed after-party, held at Bryan’s London home, that “they enjoyed a passionate kiss at his front door when they thought nobody was looking. They tried to hide behind the door slightly but were caught out. It was obvious all evening there was a lot of chemistry between them,” the source went on saying, adding that “even when they weren’t by each other’s side they were constantly maintaining eye contact. They make a really cute couple.”

Don’t they know that somebody is always watching? It’s not really like they keep a super low profile after all. And why again, don’t they want anyone to know that they are dating? I understand that they may not want their relationship splashed all over the front covers of everything but, it seems they already are so, why not just come out with it?
