Jesse James and Kat Von D are engaged

“You know, sometimes the public and press gets it wrong,” Jesse told People Magazine. "This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend -- An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs.

Kat Von D confirmed her relationship with Jesse in September 2010, after his divorce from Sandra Bullock in June and his announcement that the family would be permanently moving to Austin, Texas.

“This is definitely something that I think we weren’t expecting and it’s been great,” the LA Ink star told Access Hollywood at the time.

The couple has not announced when they plan to wed, and where they plan to live – LA or Austin.
