Eliza Dushku engaged to boyfriend Peter Palandjian

June 16 (UPI) -- Eliza Dushku got engaged to boyfriend Peter Palandjian this week.

The 36-year-old actress confirmed Thursday on Instagram she said "yes" to the 53-year-old businessman and former professional tennis player in Boston.

"#Ayo..! "YES!!" Absolutely, my love. #BostonBorn #BostonBred #BostonSoonToBeWed," she captioned a photo of Palandjian's proposal.

Dushku has largely kept her relationship with Palandjian out of the public eye, but did share a picture with the Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation CEO and other friends in December.

"#ontopoftheworld #bros #ca," she wrote at the time.

Dushku is known for playing Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Tru Davies on Tru Calling and Echo on Dollhouse. She will produce and star in a forthcoming adaptation of The Black Company book series by Glen Cook.

"The Black Company is vast in scope yet remains fundamentally relevant through the morally ambiguous choices it presents at every turn," the star told Deadline in April. "We are excited to bring Glen Cook's classic story to life."
