NEW YORK —  Tori Spelling is engaged, just months after separating from her first husband, People and Us Weekly magazines reported Tuesday.

Actor Dean McDermott, who has been dating the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star for several months, proposed Christmas Eve in Toronto.

"We're so incredibly happy and in love. We cannot wait to start our lives together," the couple said in a joint statement to People. Us Weekly first reported the engagement.

Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met earlier this year while working on the TV movie "Mind Over Murder."

In October, Charlie Shanian filed for divorce from Spelling, a little more than a year after they married.

McDermott filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace, in September. They have one child together.

Spelling's father is television producer Aaron Spelling.
