Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has announced that he is engaged to theater director and actress Sophie Hunter.

The announcement was made in The Times newspaper’s births, deaths and marriages column – a move that was as classy as Cumberbatch himself.

“The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katherine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London,” the announcement read.

People Magazine later confirmed the news with Cumberbatch’s rep.

A date for the wedding hasn’t been set, but the least Cumberbatch can do is promise us that this won’t get in the way of Sherlock series 4 filming.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We wonder how Cumberbatch proposed? He probably did something extremely clever, and we can’t wait to hear about it.
