Michael Buble is singing the tune of love, and bringing one of the northernmost nations in the world together with one of the southernmost.
The Canadian crooner is engaged to Argentine actress Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre. No word on whether she’s going to officially add “Buble” to that list of names.
The Vancouver singer’s rep confirmed to People that Buble proposed in November, “in front of her family in Argentina” and she said yes. “They’re ecstatic. They’re adorable, in love and laugh all day long,” the rep told the magazine.
Buble has been engaged in the past. He was set to marry actress-singer Debbie Timuss in 2005. He also ended a long-term relationship with actress Emily Blunt, whom he dated for two years, in 2008.
