Kimberly Stewart and MTV's Laguna Beach hunk Talan Torriero are getting married, the reality star's publicist has confirmed to PEOPLE.
"He's engaged," according to Torriero's rep, Jack Ketsoyan, who says the pair have been dating for two months.
Late Wednesday night, Stewart, 26, and Torriero, 19, showed up at an XBox 360 party at a private home in Beverly Hills, where Stewart showed off her 5-carat diamond Neil Lane engagement ring to buddies Paris and Nicky Hilton.
A friend of Torriero's tells PEOPLE: "He told me he really likes her and they're having a good time."
The 6'1" California-born Torriero – who excels at surfing, volleyball and football – was a junior in high school when he first shot Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County for the music cable network last year.
In September, he told MTV News: "I'm doing an album, which is very exciting. ... I can't tell you what label I'm with, but it's a really big label push." He also said he was hoping to expand his career opportunities.
"I've been acting since I was young," he said. "Now I get to take what I'm doing and what skills I have and use it to my advantage."
Stewart, who is Rod Stewart's daughter, had been rumored to be replacing Nicole Richie on FOX's The Simple Life after a rift developed between Richie and costar Paris Hilton, but that plan never came to fruition.
Last summer she got into hot water for comments she made in Blender magazine about Jennifer Aniston's looks, calling the former Friends star "homely," and opining: "It's not like she's gorgeous or anything."
After Stewart read that Aniston's feelings were hurt by the remarks, Stewart told TV's Access Hollywood: "It made me feel awful, so I sent her flowers today and an apology."
ditto the thoughts on "He told me he really likes her and they're having a good time."
plus, who is she to say someone is "not gorgeous or anything" - here's someone who looks like a female Rod Stewart for christssakes... I never thought she was pretty - I always kind of felt sorry for her (although she looks ok in this picture becuase she's holding her head down and you don't see how long her face is) and granted she is probably stunning in her own way in person, but I bet Jennifer Anniston is equally "stunning" in her own way in person...

detroit, don't be so nice. she is a troll, with a personality to match. yucky. i saw somewhere they were talking about the engagement and said "a match made in D-list heaven"--which is pretty funny.
It's a publicity stunt, they both need attention and this is the only way they can get it. They have no real talents. Have you heard Talan sing?! He's horrible and what does she do?
I hope this is a joke! How long have they known each other, two weeks? It's just weird. And I can't believe Stewart thought Jennifer Aniston was "homely." Kimberly Stewart is the ugly one.

A friend of mine was telling me at lunch something about an accident they (Talan, Stewart, Paris and her man) were in over the weekend (no one was injured).
This is so bizarre...and I agree.......getting married because he really likes her? Please.
Hasn't she been engaged a bunch of times already? I can't remember who she was engaged to, but I feel like she's had a string of broken engagements, like Paris.
can I just say....pretty young to be getting engaged in the public eye. when is being extremely young, rich and engaged with a big ol rock going to stop being so trendy with celebrities?

Dude, I'm getting married! MARRRRRRIED! To Talan. Talan! Talan Torisisisisisisisisisico, or something, I don't really know what his last name is exactly, but whatever. No. No. TALAN. From Laguna Beach. No, not that one. The other one. No, that's Stephen. Yes! I think. I actually am not entirely sure which one I'm marrying, but whatever, I'm SO EXCITED! Also! Oh my God, this is almost better, I got these bitchin' hot slipper boots. They're like fierce and ethnic and they look really really wicked with my baggy leggings and this sweater coat from 2002. I feel AWESOME right now, Paris! Paris? Paris, are you there? Can you hear me? Paris, will you be my bridesmaid? Hello? What? NO. Kristin will NOT be mad at you if you're in my wedding. No! Totally not! You don't even KNOW her, Paris. No, she's just on the TV! We haven't really met her yet! Come on! We're BEST FRIENDS! We're BFF! Remember how I brought you a card after your monkey attacked you? That's LOVE! Please, Paris? I'll let you wear my boots!"
