Kat Von D engaged

Jesse James is engaged to tattoo artist Kat Von D.

"It's true," James told The Associated Press on Thursday.

No wedding date has been announced.

James and Von D began dating over the summer after his very public split from Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock.

The 41-year-old biker-businessman and reality TV star called Von D his best friend. Von D, whose real name is Katherine von Drachenberg, says James is the one. The 28-year-old stars on the TLC reality show "LA Ink."

The engagement was first reported Thursday by People.com.
