Uma Thurman engaged to financier Arpad Busson

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Uma Thurman, star of the "Kill Bill" movies, is engaged to London financier Arpad "Arki" Busson, according to news reports on Friday.

"I can confirm she is engaged," her representative Stephen Huvane told celebrity Web site People.com in a posting on Friday.

Huvane was not immediately able to be reached for further comment. People.com said the pair began dating last summer, and since then their relationship has blossomed quickly.

Thurman, 38, has a long list of film credits that include roles in "Pulp Fiction" and "The Producers." She was previously married to actor Ethan Hawke, with whom she has two children, as well as to actor Gary Oldman.

Businessman and philanthropist Busson was until 2005 involved with Australian model Elle Macpherson, with whom he had two sons. He is the founder and chairman of EIM Group, a fund management business based in London.
