Eliza Dushku is finally getting married!

On Thursday, Dushku, 36, shared a photo on Instagram featuring her and her boyfriend Peter Palandjian, 53. The two are holding hands while facing each other. The “Wrong Turn” star is covering her mouth with her hands and looks surprised. “‘YES!!’ Absolutely, my love,” she wrote in the caption.

Prior to dating Palandjian, Dushku was in a relationship with Rick Fox for five years, but they split in 2014. According to the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star, they couldn’t agree on which coast to live.

“Rick’s an L.A. guy and I’m a Boston girl,” Dushku told Us Weekly. “Nobody in L.A. has a basement. They all have the obligatory storage spaces in the Valley.”

During the interview, Dushku purchased a condo in Massachusetts and planned to attend college. “I’d rather be a little physically cold here than emotionally cold in L.A. I missed my town and I missed my family,” Dushku said.

Prior to their split, Dushku and Fox were already planning to tie the knot. In a separate report from Us Weekly, the basketball star-turned-actor was asked if he already heard wedding bells with Dushku and he gave an affirmative response.

“I hear them now. We’ve been honest about that conversation, and we’ve had it,” said Fox. “I’ve failed in marriage before, and this will be her first marriage. So we want to make sure the foundation is laid in a responsible way where communication is had about what she wants from life as a woman -- whether she wants to have kids or go back to school -- whatever she wants to do.”

Fox loved Dushku’s connection with his children, which he witnessed during the holidays. In fact, she seemed like a stepmother to his kids even before they get married. Unfortunately, after three years from the said interview they broke up and the “Bring It On” star is now engaged with Palandjian.
