Celebrity engagements: couples who got engaged over the holidays

1/12

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters

The American Horror Story co-stars, who have been dating since 2012, got engaged over the festive period. Evan is said to have popped the question with a pink gold and diamond ring, while the young couple were in New York City.

The news comes just six months after Emma, 22, was arrested for reportedly attacking her beau, 26, in a Montreal hotel last July. The rising star allegedly left Evan with a bloody nose after an incident of "domestic violence" but was not charged after her boyfriend dropped charges.

"Emma is very dramatic, she gets wound up during arguments," a source told Us Weekly of the couple's relationship. "When they are good, they are crazy in love."
