Hollywood actress Laura Prepon is engaged to actor Ben Foster, after a whirlwind romance this summer.

The 36-year-old Girl on the Train star was spotted at the film premiere sporting a sparkly ring on her engagement finger, and her new fiancé on her arm.

According to US Weekly, the pair are planning to tie the knot after dating since earlier this year, despite Foster only breaking up with girlfriend Robin Wright earlier in 2016.

35-year-old Ben has had a successful acting career since the 90s, later starring in teen hit Get Over It in a lead role.

Laura meanwhile made her name in teen sitcom That 70s Show, before coming to mainstream attention again in hit prison drama Orange is the New Black.

Prepon previously dated actor Scott Michael Foster for five years, and was linked to Ben Foster in 2016.

In Orange is the New Black, Prepon plays Alex Vause, the ex-girlfriend of protagonist Piper Chapman, and the reason that the latter has ended up in jail.

Prepon won a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Alex.
