LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Melissa Gilbert's publicist said Tuesday the U.S. actress is engaged to actor Timothy Busfield.

Gilbert, 48, is best known for her work on TV's "Little House on the Prairie." She also recently competed on "Dancing with the Stars."

Busfield, 55, is a former cast member of the small-screen dramas "Thirtysomething," "The West Wing" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."

"They are engaged and both are incredibly happy," Gilbert's representative told People.com.
