That's right, the trailer-park rocker (real name: Robert J. Ritchie) proposed to the former Baywatch pinup Thursday night in the Las Vegas desert, Anderson's publicist confirmed Friday.
Allstar News reports that Rock popped the question after his concert at the Joint, located in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Following the show, he drove Anderson out to the desert, where his buddy Uncle Kracker appeared wearing an Elvis Presley jumpsuit in a pink Cadillac.
He reportedly presented the ring, whereupon Rock got down on one knee and proposed. Anderson said yes.
No word yet on a wedding date--or for that matter, the size of Rock's rock. The pair has been an item since last April, and the news comes less than a month after Anderson acknowledged that she has hepatitis C, which can cause life-threatening liver damage.
A spokeswoman for Anderson, 34, said "she is feeling fine, very healthy and very ecstatic about getting married."
And just think, dearly departed little guy Joe C. would've made a great ringbearer.
This is the second go at marriage (with a rock star, no less) for the actress, who's been due for some good news lately. She's currently embroiled in a nasty custody battle with ex-husband and former Mtley Cre drummer Tommy Lee over their two sons.
The two currently share custody of Brandon, 5, and Dylan, 3. But Anderson has been fighting for sole custody of the kids.
Then in March, Anderson confirmed she has hepatitis, and claimed it was Lee who gave it to her by sharing a tattoo needle. Lee condemned her story, saying through his publicist that her announcement was "a clear attack" on the drummer that was "only doing more harm to her children."
Rock, meanwhile, has an 8-year-old son from a previous relationship, and the 31-year-old Detroit rap-rocker also faced a nasty legal battle for custody.
In 2000, Rock defended himself in a Michigan court against claims by ex-girlfriend Kelly Russell that his constant touring meant he often left the child with a nanny. She also claimed the rocker frequently refused to let her see the boy. Then last year, he asked a judge to order his ex to pay the $25 a week she owes in child support.
The pair currently share joint custody of their son.
Despite the troubles, Anderson has acknowledged that Kid Rock was definitely hubby material.
"He is the best person I have ever met," she told Extra in February. "He's got the whole thing. He's the rock star, the father, lover, sweetheart. We both have children, and that's really our priority, our kids."
