Paris Hilton’s ex-fiancé Chris Zylka is reportedly engaged to actress Hailee Lautenbach.
Zylka proposed last month as the couple drove to the Seattle marathon, sources told TMZ on Friday.
The duo were apparently en route when Zylka, 37, requested Lautenbach, who was driving, turn around. The actor claimed he left his racing bib at their AirBnB.
On the way back, the “Leftovers” alum asked the 28-year-old to pull over and get out of the car, according to the outlet. Zylka subsequently got down on one knee and popped the question without a ring.
Insiders clarified that the model said yes.
When the couple told Lautenbach’s parents days later, they kindly offered up the actress’ grandmother’s diamond for her engagement ring.
The pair, who met in 2020, then reportedly designed the full ring together.
While the couple have yet to officially share the milestone moment on social media, Lautenbach hinted earlier this week that something major happened.
“Feed 🤝 Chris || Went to Seattle with our son to run a marathon (aka Chris, daniel and I were gonna run around eating and trying to find Chris) the marathon didn’t happen but something better did,” the “Ride” actress captioned an Instagram post Monday. “Not telling you tho!”

The slideshow came one week after Zylka made their relationship Instagram official.
The “Zeke and Luther” alum was previously engaged to Hilton. He asked the heiress to marry him during a January 2018 Colorado vacation, nearly one year after the pair took their romance public.
Zylka proposed with a 20-carat, $2 million pear-shaped diamond engagement ring, which the DJ famously lost while partying at a nightclub — but later found in an ice bucket.
Hilton called off the engagement in November that year, with a source telling Page Six, “She broke up with him. She’s busy working and she realized he wasn’t the guy for her. There have been problems for a while.”
The “This Is Paris” star confirmed the breakup later that month, sharing in an interview with “The Talk” that she wished her ex all the best.
“It was this whirlwind romance,” the “Simple Life” alum explained at the time. “I thought it was going to be my happy ending and I just realized after time that it wasn’t the right decision.”
Hilton, who kept the $2 million ring Zylka gave her, went on to marry Carter Reum in November 2021.
Reps for Zylka and Lautenbach did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
