According to her representatives, the beautiful and talented Uma Thurman is engaged...again. This time to a Swiss multimillionaire, Arpad Busson, also known as Arki to those close to the couple.

How did he pop the question? With a very generous 8+ carat solitare piece surrounded by 20 smaller pieces.

As typical Hollywood fashion, let's link the couple in the "Six degree of separation" game. Prior to Busson, Uma was married to Ethan and Gary Oldman, as we all know. But who knew that the Swiss multimillionaire was married to model Elle Macpherson before meeting Uma? That's Hollywood for you. Although no wedding date has been set, let's hope this one lasts.

Uma Thurman is engaged to her Swiss multimillionaire boyfriend, Arpad "Arki" Busson, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

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

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."

The pair began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan. Since then, their relationship quickly heated up despite the fact that the couple lived on different continents (she is based in New York, he in London).

It would be the third marriage for Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Her marriage to Gary Oldman ended in 1992. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.

No wedding date has been set, says the source.
