Maggie Grace is engaged to Matthew Cooke.
The "Taken" star announced the news on Instagram on Wednesday.
"The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers do not finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along. ~Rumi," the actress wrote, quoting the poet Rumi in the caption of her Instagram photo.

"Matthew Cooke & I are so excited to share our engagement with you guys! I could not feel more grateful to share my life with this incredible man," she added.
The announcement was accompanied by a photo of Maggie looking lovingly into her now-fiance's eyes. They are nose-to-nose in the photo and Maggie's left hand is on Matthew's shoulder, revealing her diamond ring.
Maggie shared a second photo on Instagram, in which Matthew romantically dips her for a sweet kiss, and teases that they're considering eloping.
"We're all fancied up for @globalgreen tonight so we thought - let's ask our friend to take a fancy photo!" she captioned the pic. "Since we've got the photo thing covered should we just elope ?!"
The actress was later photographed on the green carpet at Global Green USA's 12th annual pre-Oscar party at Avalon Hollywood on Wednesday. No word on if she made a pit stop at the court house on her way!
