The couple had been seen together for the past few months after meeting one another while McDonald was in Los Angeles for American Idol, and now they have confirmed an engagement.

The news was revealed at the MTV Movie Awards. E! reports:

On the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Movie awards, Twilight star Nikki Reed flashed some serious bling when I asked her whether she thinks she and her man Paul McDonald will wed. And she had an answer ready.

“He’s the one,” she said. “He’s the one.”

A source confirms that the two are, indeed, engaged. Congratulations, you two. And guess what else she told me…

Reed says her man, who made it to the top 8 of American Idol this season, has been writing a bunch of songs in her honor! Aww.

“He says he’s going to release a Nikki Reed EP,” she said.

Congratulations to the happy couple! We wonder if he’s serious about those love songs…
