Perrey Reeves of ‘Entourage’ fame engaged to Aaron Fox

Perrey Reeves, perhaps best known as “Mrs. Ari” on HBO’s “Entourage,” is on her way to being a Mrs. in real life as well.

The news came out Thursday after her now-fiance, Aaron Fox, posted a photo of himself and the “Covert Affairs” actress with the caption, “Engaged!” In the pic, she’s showing off some new ring-finger bling -- which it turns out was designed by Fox.

“We did get engaged last Wednesday Aug. 27,” the tennis instructor and Grips Program guru told the Los Angeles Times. “I am lucky,” he said via email, following up with a smile.

The engagement happened in New York, and his family surprised the couple after the proposal, Reeves’ rep said.

According to an Us Weekly source, Fox, 34, first surprised Reeves, 43, with a hotel suite full of roses and candles before taking her to a favorite restaurant.

The couple met through mutual friends, People magazine reported. They’ve been dating for about a year and a half.

Reeves posted an Instagram picture Thursday as well, showing herself and her betrothed hanging out at the U.S. Open’s men’s tennis quarterfinals, held Thursday morning. They’d hit the Ziegfeld Theatre red carpet Wednesday night for the “Boardwalk Empire” premiere, which is where that ring-flashing photo of the couple was taken.

Fans who still prefer to think of Reeves as Mrs. Ari, rather than the future Mrs. Fox, can get a fix when she appears in the “Entourage” movie, set to be released in June 2015.
