Maria Bello Engaged To Waiter-Musician Bryn Mooser

Actress Maria Bello is engaged to musician/waiter Bryn Mooser, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

Bello, 41, and Bryn, 28, announced the news in her hometown paper, The Norristown Times Herald of Norristown, PA.

They "fell in love over a sheer passion of politics, Africa and crypto-zoology," the paper reported.

Bello spoke to Page Six magazine about how Mooser changed her mind on monogamy:

"He's beautiful inside and out--a great human being," she says of Bryn, who is a musician, artist and part-time waiter. "He has more character in his little finger than any man I've ever met." They met at the restaurant he worked at near her home. "We had been looking at each other," she says. Then last March, at a meal for her cousin's birthday, Maria made a move. "I had a couple of drinks, so I felt brave. I walked up and said, 'Can you take this cake and put a candle in it? And by the way, do you have a girlfriend?' From that night on, we've been together."

Her relationship with Bryn, 28, is going so well, he's changed her view on marriage. "I was always anti-marriage," she admits. "I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone--of having a partner in life."

"He has more character in his little finger than any man I've ever met."

to put that statement out just seems childish. frankly it sounds like "my daddy can beat up your daddy".

will she love him when his inevitable faults show?

[Bettysdad]

We have friends where she is early 50's, he is late 30's.

I'm real jealous of him.

[hartkid]

speaking as one who knows, at 41, she's hitting her stride. Have any of you seen her in History of Violence? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I just read the headline and guessed "aspiring actor/waiter." I was close.

GO MARIA!

she's hot and so's he.

Norristown? That stretches the imagination. The age thing, so what. Norristown? This is a poor city in the middle of a prosperous county. There is no trendy neighborhoods, nor trendy eateries. I suspect they are in an outlying area that is covered by the Herald.
I am not belittling Norristown, I lived there for years, worked there for other years and liked it. It's simply not offering anyting to affluent people, and has been bypassed by gentrification.

To the guy who slammed we cougars? If Maria is our representative, I say to that guy, eat crow. To the people who call we gals of age dirty old broads? You damn straight we are. If this works for these two, why does age even matter? Please. Cougars rule. To the happy couple? Bravo!

We seem to have a lot in common - puppies and young husbands...:)
Im 37 - hubby is 30, so not sure if i constitute as a cougar...but I say to all of us older women/
Du Ga Flicka - (i believe that means "you go girl" in swedish...:)

Why he's barely out of high school! ;-)

[NoElephants]

As a former waiter/bartender - I salute you sir. I often dreamed of something like this happening to me. Needless to say, it didn't.

[bavb63]

hot couple!

[Artisbey]

So Maria was opposed to monogamy until she was approaching middle age. Now she wants exclusive stud service from this young buck.

How Hollywoody.

Maybe she's just afraid he'll share his Big Foot sightings with some other old broad.

[rektruax]

Funny! I'm surprised there aren't more comments on the "crypto-zoology" silliness. That or no one here knows what it is.

[scorpioleidy]

He must be a great pipe-layer! Why else would she want someone so much younger?!

[CostaMesaJoe]

3-4 year marriage.
As soon as she hits 45 - he'll run for the door.....

Age does not matter.

You either have "IT" or you do not.

[hilaritee]

[avraamjack]
