Moviemaker Robert Rodriguez has confirmed reports he and his Planet Terror star Rose McGowan are engaged. The father-of-five and the actress reportedly split earlier this year, months after McGowan cooed about her plans to wed the director after he divorced his wife Elizabeth last year, but Rodriguez insists the couple is still engaged.

In an upcoming interview in Latina magazine, Rodriguez says, "Yes, I’m engaged. No info on that. That’s very personal. But it’s been great."

In October, McGowan told the press about her marriage plans, revealing, "I just want to go to an island and pay someone else to deal with it (ceremony)."

When the pair does wed, Rodriguez insists his ex-wife and filmmaking partner will remain a big part of his life.

He tells Latina, "We’re great partners and we’re great parents. She’s so solid. In a lot of ways, we’ll be together forever. I can see her right now. She still works right next to me; we have an office together."
