Jessica Alba has confirmed she is engaged.

The 'Fantastic Four' actress - who was seen wearing a large diamond ring on her wedding finger over the festive period - is set to wed her long-term boyfriend and the father of her unborn baby Cash Warren.

The 26-year-old star's publicist Brad Cafarelli said: "I can confirm that they are engaged."

It was previously reported Alba had wanted to tie the knot before the couple's baby arrived in late spring next year.

However, it was recently claimed the actress had decided to postpone the nuptials because she does not want to walk down the aisle with a baby bump.

A source close to the couple said: "She doesn't want to be pregnant in a dress."

Alba and Warren met on the set of 'Fantastic Four' in 2004 where 28-year-old Warren was working as a director's assistant.

They split in July this year, reportedly because Alba was putting pressure on Warren to get married, but quickly rekindled their romance in August.

Meanwhile Jessica recalls her first teenage date as being a total disaster.

The beautiful 'Fantastic Four' actress has revealed she was horrified when she arrived at the eatery, which had been recommended by friends, and realized it was a themed fancy dress café.

Jessica, who is expecting her first child with long-term partner Cash Warren, said: "My favorite disaster story is a first date with a guy who was a friend. It was awkward as we weren't really sure if we wanted to date each other.

"I picked this restaurant, I thought it was going to be an intimate, five-star place, where people wouldn't recognize us. It turned out to be a theme restaurant - all the waiters were dressed as pirates and the customers were senior citizens. It was so embarrassing!"

Jessica, who briefly split from Cash earlier this year, rekindled their romance by revisiting their favorite restaurants.

The 26-year-old actress, who has been dating Cash since they met on the set of 'Fantastic Four' in 2004 where Cash was working as a director's assistant, recently revealed she was planning to take a break from Hollywood.

She said: "I am going to take eight months off. I've worked the last two and a half years without stopping. This is the time to do it."
