Update: Uma Thurman is engaged to her financier boyfriend Arpad "Arki" Busson, a rep for the actress confirms to Usmagazine.com.

And the ring is huge:

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."


Previously;

Uma Thurman, who played The Bride in "Kill Bill," is ready to walk down the aisle again with financier Arpad (Arki) Busson, sources tell the Daily News.

Busson, who has two children with supermodel Elle Macpherson, just presented Thurman with a engagement ring so big "she can't fit it through the sleeve of her coat," a friend said.

Thurman showed off the honkin' sparkler Thursday night at Elton John's British manor house, where he's throwing his 10th White Tie and Tiara benefit.

"All the ladies' eyes were buggin' out," said a spy at the Chopard-sponsored bash.

Thurman's spokesman didn't respond by deadline but a friend of her family confirmed, "It's a done deal. They're already planning the wedding."

From Wikipedia: According to Macpherson, Busson is so devout a Catholic he decided he couldn't marry a divorcee, despite having two children with her out of wedlock and despite Macpherson herself being Catholic.

Um, Isn't Uma a divorcee?

Well it won't take long for Uma to convert him to some degree to a Buddhist point of view which can do us all a lot of good..she's a terrific girl a really nice person and deserves to be happy...

It was either the uber-rich Busson (b'63), or the mentally tipsy stalker Jack Jordan.

I dare say Uma (b'70) made the right choice.

Hard to imagine how any one guy could trade UP from the similarly 6'-0" Elle, (b'64, and with whom he has two sons b'98 and b'03), but Busson seems to have pulled off a blockbuster trade. (ok, ok, there were years in between.)

Not like he doesn't have a "type," formerly involved with Farah Fawcett. And funny, he seems to have outgrown his Catholic-based objections to marrying divorcees (i.e., Elle).

As they say, "Women marry men hoping to change them; men marry women hoping they never do." The challenges these two will face over time are already clear.


Also, note that Uma has two kids (with Ethan Hawke, b'98, b'02).

That's the way.... they became... the Busson Bunch.


Now if only I could figger out the connection to Kevin Bacon.


All lame humor aside, best wishes to the happy couple and their four kids.
