Len Wiseman and his new fiancée CJ Franco shared the happy news of their engagement on Thursday, confirming that the Underworld director had popped the question after eight years together.
The 50-year-old filmmaker is now set to wed stunning model CJ, 32, who boasts 568k Instagram followers and bears a striking resemblance to his ex-wife Kate Beckinsale. The brunette beauty looks radiant in the beautiful images shared to celebrate the couple's betrothal, including a sweet bikini photo of herself cuddling up to her new fiancé during their Cabo San Lucas getaway in Mexico.

Other photos taken from the dreamy getaway include a bathrobe image of CJ and Len gazing lovingly into one another's eyes. "I still get butterflies when you slide into my DMs," she wrote.
CJ told People magazine that Len proposed during a romantic dinner date at the couple's favorite restaurant, Arbol at Las Ventanas.
She said: "He got down on his knee and said, 'I know we've only known each other for a little while, so this may come as a shock.

Len and CJ have been an item for eight years, but only just moved in together this summer.

Following the news of their split, CJ and Len were pictured together on multiple occasions, including nights out at popular hotspot The Nice Guy.

Kate was quick to shut down any engagement rumors, however, after being questioned by fans. "Oh hell no," the jokester replied, much to everyone's amusement.
