Christina Ricci

Actress just finished a guest arc on 'Saving Grace'

Christina Ricci, who just completed a three-episode arc on "Saving Grace," has another reason to celebrate.

The "Speed Racer" star is engaged to actor Owen Benjamin, report celebrity sites.

Ricci, 29, has been publicly dating Benjamin, 28, since November. It's a mismatched pair height-wise since Ricci is only 5'1" and Benjamin is 6'6". Previously, Ricci had dated actor Adam Goldberg for three years.

Benjamin is an actor and comedian who recently appeared in "The House Bunny." He'll star opposite Ricci in "All's Faire in Love," in theaters in the fall.

Ricci played a young detective on TNT's angel-talking drama "Saving Grace."

Thanks to roles in films like "The Opposite of Sex" and "Sleepy Hollow," Ricci has made the transition for her child-acting roots to grown-up success. Ricci was most recently seen in "Speed Racer" and by a very different audience in "Black Snake Moan."

Hardly a stranger to TV stints, Ricci has had multi-episode roles on "Ally McBeal" and "Grey's Anatomy." She's also popped up on "Joey" and "Malcolm in the Middle."
