PARIS (AP) - Actor Tom Cruise said he and girlfriend Katie Holmes are engaged, after he popped the question early Friday morning atop the Eiffel Tower.
Cruise, speaking at a Paris news conference with Holmes, said: "Yes, I proposed to her."
The couple often shared smiles as Cruise turned to look at her, with a massive diamond ring on her finger.
"It was early this morning at the Eiffel Tower, so I haven't slept at all," he said. "Today is a magnificent day for me, I'm engaged to a magnificent woman."
Asked why he chose the famed Paris landmark, he said: "I've never been to the Eiffel Tower. It's Paris, it's a beautiful city, it's very romantic."
Cruise, 42, was in Paris to promote the French release of the Steven Spielberg film "War of the Worlds" next month.
He and 26-year-old Holmes went public with their romantic relationship in April. The two have faced repeated rumors of marriage. The relationship started after Cruise split from actress Penelope Cruz, and Holmes and actor Chris Klein called off their long-standing engagement.
