Donovan Leitch is apparently just mad about Libby Mintz.

The English actor and his adorable actress girlfriend are engaged, Leitch's manager confirmed Tuesday to E! News.

Meanwhile, the betrothed couple have since gone MIA, sort of. Leitch performed in Denmark over the weekend and then informed his Twitter followers yesterday that he was "Away at the moment Lost in the Himalayas." Perhaps he and Mintz, who most recently shot the Zoe Cassavetes-directed Day Out of Days, are "Lost" together.

This will be the second marriage for Leitch. The 47-year-old thesp and son of singer-songwriter Donovan is still technically married to model wife Kirsty Hume, who just filed for divorce last month after 13 years of marriage. But the duo, who are parents to 10-year-old daughter Violet together, had been separated for several years, according to both of them.

Leitch, who produced the 2012 documentary Sunset Strip, most recently made headlines for the friendly kiss he shared with ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow at a baseball game last September, the pic not raising any eyebrows until Paltrow and husband Chris Martin announced their "conscious uncoupling" in March.

"I was just saying goodbye to her. It was purely innocent," Leitch explained the pic to the Daily Mail just days later. "We were sitting in the owner's box in front of 30,000 people with her two children right next to us. That isn't exactly the setting for a secret liaison."

He also said, "Gwyneth and I have always been close...I consider her to be one of my closest friends. We have tons of great friends in common."

Perhaps the wedding invitation is in the mail, then!
