LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Gotham stars Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin are headed for the altar.

"They are very happily engaged," a source told the magazine.

McKenzie and Baccarin stepped out as a couple to the 2016 Gotham Independent Film Awards on Monday. The actress, who wore a floral print dress, showed off her diamond ring as she posed for photos.

The Gotham co-stars had surprised fans in September 2015 by announcing they were expecting their first child. The couple welcomed daughter Frances in March.

"Her name is Frances, after my mother," McKenzie said on Harry in October. "I love that name. We call her Frankie. She's 7 months old, and the cutest thing in the world."

Baccarin is also mom to 3-year-old Julius with ex-husband Austin Chick. Gotham premiered a third season in September and will return to television Dec. 12.

"You get to go to work with the person you love every single day, and it's really nice," the actress previously told Entertainment Tonight. "I think we'd rarely get to see each other otherwise. So it's really fun."
