Add Amy Smart to the list of celebrity brides-to-be.
The Shameless actress, 35, broke the news to OK! that she and Million Dollar Rooms executive producer Carter Oosterhouse, 34, got engaged on Sunday during The Body Shop Three-Minute Shower Challenge held today at Columbia University in NYC.
“I just got engaged on Sunday,” she tells me, showing off her huge sparkler. “I’m so happy. It was so beautiful, romantic and I was completely surprised. I’m just really happy and enjoying this time.”
How did he propose?
“That’s personal, but it was very touching, very loving.”
Just in time for Earth Day, she tells me they met while doing environmental work through the Environmental Media Association.

While she admits they’re not yet sure about wedding details, she is certain Carter is “The One.”
“I think he’s an incredible man on so many levels,” Amy says. “He’s so kind, so respectful, loving … he’s got so many qualities that I can’t wait to spend my life with.”

And they may start a family in short order.
“I would love to have children. That’s definitely something I want.”
With such a smart name like Smart, will she change her name to Oosterhouse?
“I would for personal reasons, but not for my professional name,” she says. “I mean, I got teased my whole childhood, but now I feel the need to live up to it. I like my last name!”
Amy was previously engaged to longtime boyfriend actor Branden Williams.
