Homeland Star Rupert Friend 'Engaged'

Homeland star Rupert Friend is engaged to girlfriend Aimee Mullins, People magazine has reported.

The engagement was reportedly announced during a gala evening in New York for L'Oreal Paris' Women Of Worth award.

Mullins, a 38-year-old American athlete, actress and fashion model, was among the presenters at Tuesday's event and the announcement came at the start of the presentation, People said.

There was no immediate comment from the actor's agents in the UK or US.

Mullins, a double-amputee from childhood, was a track and field competitor at the 1996 Paralympics, and then turned modelling and acting.

British-born Friend, 33, who was previously romantically linked to Keira Knightley, plays Peter Quinn in the award-winning Homeland.

The show, starring Claire Danes as the lead, is currently in its fourth season.
