Now this is news I didn’t expect to hear! ’30 Rock’ star Alec Baldwin is engaged to his girlfriend of nearly one year, Hilaria Thomas. His rep confirmed the news to People.

“Yes, it’s true! Alec proposed to Hilaria this weekend and we’re all excited for the newly engaged couple. Alec’s birthday is tomorrow – great way to celebrate!”

A birthday party and engagement party all rolled into one: it is a great way to celebrate. Congratulations to the couple!
