Actors Leah Pipes and AJ Trauth engaged

The Originals star Leah Pipes is set to marry her longtime boyfriend, actor Aj Trauth.

After two and a half years of dating, the couple is set to tie the knot after Trauth popped the question last December (13).

Pipes reveals the news to UsWeekly, saying, "He proposed on Christmas Day. There was a wrapped ring box under the tree... and it was empty. He'd been holding the ring behind his back and asked me to marry him. It was the best moment of my life!"

The pair first met as teenagers, each starring in projects for the Disney Channel, with Pipes taking the lead in the 2004 movie Pixel Perfect, and Trauth playing Shia LaBeouf's best friend on the sitcom Even Stevens.
