Ever since rumors started swirling about Justin Timberlake proposing to his longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, we have been waiting for confirmation from the couple.

Well we have finally received that confirmation, but it doesn’t come from either The Social Network star or the New Year’s Eve star. Rather, it comes from Timberlake’s grandma!

Although he had asked her not to talk about the engagement “until after the holidays,” Sadie Bomar told Gossip Cop, “He called me on Christmas Day and told me he’s engaged.”

If there’s any question about whether or not Biel will be welcomed into the family with open arms, Bomar assures “the family loves Jessie… she’s a very sweet girl.”

Sources told Us Weekly that Timberlake, 30, popped the question to Biel, 29, during their annual vacation to Jackson, Wyoming.

They were first linked in 2007, but broke up for a few months in 2011. When they got back together, sources say “they had a conversation about taking the next step.”

During the time they split, it was evident they still had love for each other, as Timberlake told Vanity Fair “She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life. In my 30 years, she is the most special person, okay? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”
