Ryan Phillippe is set to marry again after popping the question to his longterm girlfriend.

The 41-year-old actor reportedly proposed to Paulina Slagter over the holidays, according to the New York Post's Page Six column.

The 'Catch Hell' star - who was married to actress Reese Witherspoon for eight years - recently gushed about his wife-to-be.

He said: "It's [serious]. I'm not opposed to [getting married again]. She's awesome.

"When people see her they have these judgments because she could be a model but she's about to graduate Stanford Law.

"Also what's great about it - as you get older certain issues become more important to you.

"I'm very involved in civil rights issues, and so to be with a woman who could actually make an impact in the legal realm - that's a beautiful thing."

Ryan also recently admitted he's more focused on his family, including his three children, daughters Ava, 16, and and Kai, four, and 12-year-old son Deacon, and his career is taking a back seat as a result.

He shared: "Since I became a dad, I love the business [but] it's not everything to me. I think that's held me back in some regards."
