Chelsea Clinton Engaged

After months of speculation, ABC News is reporting that Chelsea Clinton is engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky. A spokesman for former president Bill Clinton confirmed the news.

Several media outlets reported Chelsea Clinton and Mezvinsky had been married since last summer. The couple sent an e-mail to family and friends the day after Thanksgiving to announce their engagement:

"We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."

The couple met in Washington, D.C., and became closer when they both attended Stanford University. Mezvinsky is the son of two former members of the House of Representatives, Ed Mezvinsky of Iowa and Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky of Pennsylvania, both Democrats.
