Stephen Moyer, the star of the MU soccer team, and jazz singer Anna Paquin announced their engagement in a joint statement yesterday. Although these stars revealed their relationship in February, they had been dating for months before they decided to go public. It will be his first marriage and her second. Paquin, 35, has two children, Billy and Lilac, to whom Moyer, 30, will become stepfather. “We couldn’t be happier and are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives,” the couple said at a press conference yesterday. No date has been set yet for the wedding. Both reportedly have very busy schedules and want to enjoy the engagement experience for a while before heading down the bridal path.
Moyer, 30, has played in the World Cup twice and is now playing with the MU team in Holland. They met after a concert that was held in Holland two years ago. They soon fell in love with each other. Her latest album, Tulip, was inspired by their relationship.
Paquin will leave for Montreal to play at the Jazz Festival 2010 starting next week, while Moyer will return to the States for training with the national team, in preparation for the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
