Former Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson is engaged to wed his girlfriend of nine years.

The actor, 31, proposed to Loni Willison during a romantic dinner in Los Angeles on Halloween.

He tells Star magazine, "Loni's always hated Halloween, so I thought I'd change her perspective on it for the rest of her life. We had a private room with candles everywhere. I had a violinist play Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman? She teared up and said yes."

"I was the most amazing day of my life."

Jackson's proposal took place just months after he kicked his addiction to steroids following a stint on reality show Celebrity Rehab earlier this year.
