Aaand it’s official.

Über-couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan have just gotten engaged.

Stars of Mani Ratnam’s latest film Guru, the pair spent this past weekend in Toronto and New York City.

Their engagement—a quiet ceremony held at the Bachchan residence today—comes after many months of speculation that the two were indeed an item. Abishek proposed in New York, after the film premiered in Times Square Friday night. Rai accepted immediately.

No wedding date has been set as yet.
