Actor-comedian Jimmy Fallon is saying good-bye to his bachelor life and preparing for the joys of marriage, with movie producer Nancy Juvonen.
Jimmy Fallon, 33, starred in 2005’s “Fever Pitch,” alongside Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore. Nancy Juvonen, who founded the production company Flower Films with the actress in 1995, was producing the movie.
The two met on set and started a relationship.
A representative for Fallon announced Wednesday that the former “Saturday Night Live” cast member proposed to his girlfriend over the weekend, at Nancy’s family home in New Hampshire. The actor gave Nancy a diamond ring designed by Neil Lane, his representative said.
Neither Jimmy nor Nancy have been married before.
Jimmy Fallon started out on “Saturday Night Live” in 1998 and became famous for his song parodies. He frequently would laugh through a sketch, which made him even more endearing among fans and annoying for others.
His part in SNL was nevertheless a success and he eventually co-anchored “Weekend Update” with Tina Fey. Jimmy left the show in 2006, but made several guest appearances afterwards.
He has also played in various films, such as “Almost Famous” in 2000, “Taxi” in 2004, alongside Queen Latifah, and the more recent “Factory Girl” (2006), with Sienna Miller and Guy Pierce.
Jimmy co-hosted the 2001 MTV Movie Awards with Kirsten Dunst and went on to host the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002 and the MTV Movie Awards in 2005.
As Drew Barrymore’s production partner at Flower Films, Nancy Juvonen has been involved in the production of films such as “Charlie's Angels” (2000), “Donnie Darko” (2001), “50 First Dates” (2004) and 2007’s “Music and Lyrics” (2007).
