Pop Eater writes that Jennifer Esposito plans to tie the knot with Mark Philippoussis, the Australian tennis star who made the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open during his career.
An interesting choice, considering Philippoussis appeared on NBC's reality show The Age of Love two summers ago, where he selected the "right woman" (Amanda Salinas) from a baker's dozen of contestants. Also, Esposito, at 36, is four years older than Philippoussis and was previously married to Bradley Cooper. A representative told People that the two are "happily engaged and enjoying their time together."
Esposito is arguably most famous for her role in the Oscar-winning drama Crash, and she has also starred in the TV shows Samantha Who? and Rescue Me.

Actor Liam Neeson continues along the upward trajectory his career has been on since Taken surprised everyone at the box office. He recently wrapped photography on Clash of the Titans, in which he plays Zeus, and is currently filming the big-screen adaptation of the classic The A-Team TV show, in which he will portray the team's leader, Hannibal.
Neeson's most recent gig, according to Variety has him starring alongside Russell Crowe in writer-director Paul Haggis' latest film, The Next Three Days.
In Days, an adaptation of the 2008 French film Pour Elle, Crowe plays a teacher whose wife (Elizabeth Banks) has been falsely incarcerated for a murder she didn't commit. Desperate to break his wife out of prison before she can commit suicide, Crowe's character elicits the aid of an ex-con (Neeson) who is an expert on prison breaks.
Days also stars Brian Bennehy, Olivia Wilde, Daniel Stern, Aisha Hinds, and The RZA.
