Chong has been replaced in Cheech's heart with another partner.

Actor Cheech Marin and his girlfriend Natasha Rubin are engaged, reports People.

"The couple are thrilled and looking forward to sharing their special day with close friends and family," says his rep.

The former "Nash Bridges" star, 62, proposed to Rubin, a Russian pianist, on Feb. 17 over dinner at Los Angeles' Giorgio Baldi restaurant.

The couple has been dating for four and a half years. They plan to tie the knot this summer at Marin's Malibu home.

This is Marin's third marriage. His previous two marriages, which ended in divorce, produced three children.
