Anka, 66 - who has been dating Aberg for four years - reveals, "I'm engaged. We've been talking about marriage for the last year - and over a bottle of wine and dinner recently in New York at Scalinatella restaurant, I proposed. I said, 'Let's do this.'

The couple has a two-and-a-half-year-old son, Ethan. Anka has five daughters from his 37-year marriage to Lebanese socialite Anne De Zogheb, which ended in 2000. Aberg has a six year old daughter from a previous relationship.
