My opinion on Seth Rogen used to be that he was likely an enormous douche. He just gave me the “bastard” vibe. But as I’ve seen more of his films and read some interviews with him over the years, my opinion of him has changed. While I still don’t consider him a “nice guy” I do kind of like him. He’s an underrated actor, he’s funny sometimes, and in real life, he’s very quick and easy-going, it seems. Anyway, I’ve found another reason to like him a lot – he’s been with his girlfriend for six years, and they just got engaged. That’s so… not the image I had of him! To be with the same girl for years and years and to get around to putting a ring on it? That’s wonderful!

It’s a happy ending for this funnyman! Life & Style can exclusively reveal that actor and writer Seth Rogen, 28, has proposed to his longtime girlfriend, writer and actress Lauren Miller, also 28.

“He surprised her with the proposal,” a friend of Seth’s tells Life & Style. “She’d started giving up hope that he would ever pop the question.” Seth asked Lauren – whom he’s been dating since 2004 – to be his bride just last week, after the two returned from visiting family in Boston.

“Her family adores him; everyone is thrilled to plan a wedding,” the friend adds. As for Seth, there’s no doubt as to how he feels about Lauren: “I have a girlfriend who is far prettier than I should have,” he’s said.

Congrats to the happy couple!

She is really pretty! Lauren looks a bit like an Anne Hathaway/Rebecca Hall hybrid, doesn’t she? And Lauren has put in the time, for real. I like the quote “She’d started giving up hope that he would ever pop the question.” Why do I think that there was some kind of subtle ultimatum? Lauren might have said: “You know, it’s going on six years… I need to know where this is going… I mean, have you seen how hot I am?” I don’t blame her, of course. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

In any case, congratulations/mazel tov to the happy couple!
