Johansson's representative Marcel Pariseau confirmed the couple's engagement to People magazine on Monday.

Wedding plans: Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds has proposed to 

Before she starting dating Reynolds last year, Johansson was in a two-year relationship with her Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett and previously dated actor/singer Jared Leto.

Friends of the couple believe they may delay the wedding until after this year because they are so busy.

Johansson's debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head is released on May 20 and she has two movies Vicky Cristina Barcelona and He's Just Not That Into You coming out this summer.

She is currently filming New York, I Love You in her hometown of NYC, while Reynolds is currently making romantic comedy The Proposal with Sandra Bullock four hours away in Boston.
