Rhys Ifans' mum confirms his engagement to Sienna Miller

London, Mar 24 : Welsh actor Rhys Ifans and English actress Sienna Miller will find it difficult to laugh of engagement reports especially as his mum has just confirmed it.

Ifans had proposed her twice before, but it was the third time that was the lucky charm.

The first time had been in August of 2007, after he sent her a cryptic message in Welsh, which read: "Marry the Misfit" and then in December 06 at her 26th birthday party, by hiding an engagement ring in a pile of gifts.

On the third try Sienna finally accepted his proposal just a few weeks ago, and the two of them are now planning a summer wedding.

Ifans mum Beti-Wyn Evans is very happy about the whole thing and is looking forward to having Miller as her daughter-in-law.

"They adore each other and I am so pleased for them. They make a fantastic couple. We think she is lovely, absolutely fantastic," the Sun quoted her as saying.

Evans also revealed that her son and his fiancee are looking into buying a home in Wales, so Ifans can be closer to his family.
