Whenever I see Marisa Tomei on talk shows, she always seems like such a cool woman with a great attitude about life. After winning her Oscar for My Cousin Vinny, I think people expected her to never live up to that early success, but she stayed in New York, worked constantly on a variety of different projects, aged gracefully, got nominated for another Oscar and… I don’t know, she just seems to have a great life. Well, I didn’t even know she was dating the young hottie and Tom Hardy look-alike Logan Marshall Green, but they’ve been together for a while, and now he’s proposed! So Marisa is going to get married for the first time at the age of 48. Mazel tov!
She was waiting for that special someone. And now Marisa Tomei is set to walk down the aisle for the very first time after accepting her boyfriend’s proposal. The Wrestler star’s groom-to-be is actor Logan Marshall Green, star of the summer blockbuster Prometheus.
The Oscar winning star, 48, and Logan spent a festive holiday season together and that’s when the 36-year-old actor popped the question.
‘He popped the question over the holidays,’ a source told In Touch. ‘She is very happy about the engagement.’
The couple has been dating on and off since 2008 after meeting while working on a New York theater project together. Marisa has previously insisted she saw no real good reason to get married or have children.
‘I’m not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don’t know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings,’ Marisa told Manhattan Magazine in 2009.
Obviously, she just couldn’t resist Logan’s proposal.
Yay! Should we talk about the age difference? I don’t really care about it in this case – they’re both old enough to know the score, you know? It doesn’t feel like anyone is being misled or inexperienced or anything. It doesn’t feel like Marisa is some prowling cougar either – my impression is that she probably never thought she’d get married because the institution wasn’t for her. She only changed her mind when she met her Forever Dong. Praise it!
UPDATE: Oh, so Marisa’s rep denied this! Still, I want it to be true.

always liked her, good on her-he’s a hottie!!
He is a nice looking guy and him and Fassy together in that one pic has now made my Friday!
I don’t think there is a thing wrong with this relationship/age difference. They look like a content couple and they have been together for almost 5 years apparently. If I had any concerns it would be that she was so adamant NO MARRIAGE and now she is acquiescing…I hope it’s real feelings and not mid-life crisis talking. Other than that…congrats to both.
I agree. They are a very attractive couple. She does not look her age at all! She still looks fantastic and I’ll even say she’s sexier than some actresses half her age. I wish them both the best of everything in their upcoming marriage.
I wanna be in the middle of that Fassy/Logan Marshall sandwich..
Didn’t see this coming. Had no idea they were dating. See Hollywood you can keep your love life secret if you don’t want to whore it for the cameras. Congrats to them.
haha! Good point!
My mom is 15 years older than my stepfather, and they have been married for 23 years. Older woman-younger man can work it seems, if the woman is very solid in her skin.
My mom was thirty-four when she married my twenty-one year old stepdad.
They’ve been together since I was four, and now I’m eighteen.
Good for her, luv her…she waited till the right one came along, everything changes then
Totally agree. Hope it works out for them.
**Edit** And I totally love her outlook and attitudes. She doesn’t “buy” into convention…does her own thing as she sees fit….and I LOORVE that! You go girl!
I love her! And he is a doll, good for them both.
Love her and he’s hot! She doesn’t even look 48…go Marisa!!
I too always liked her so congratulations to the couple.
Congrats to both of them! Just as long as she keeps doing movies…. Wonderful actress.
Awesome, best wishes!
Hot couple!

word.
Wow he is pretty! He kinda looks like a Tom Hardy on them pics. They look good together.
Congrats!!!
And grizzly beard Fassbender… Hello there :3
Maybe because it’s a slow hot man week over here on CB, but I’m in board with the Hardy-alike, in spite of the blue steel. I’m even feeling the Grizzly Fass with you, Ms. Kay (although sadly, not literally).
He looks like a skinny Tom Hardy. Oh, and he has a twin brother:

*Twilight Zone theme song plays in the background*
Fantastic. I love it when they come with a spare. It means I don’t have to worry about breaking the first one.
I think he’s somewhat between Hardy and Kutcher. I see a strong Kutcher resemblance….is it only me?
Gotta love Kaiser for sneaking the FassDong in there!
Good for him, recognizing the hotness of Tomei! Aging naturally (I think) and she still looks better at 48 than many of the younger surgery faces we see these days. Also, she’s talented, so there’s that as well. Basically, I love her and I like him even more now.
I was thinking that also. The tiny wrinkles just make her more attractive, IMO.
Marissa has never been on my radar but I have to admit she looks really good for her age. She could pass for her 30’s. Her fiance is Hawt.
he kinda looks like tom hardy.
Daddy is going to be devistated. He’s loved her since MCV.
Also, damn he’s hot!
She looks so great! There’s no need to talk about the “age difference”, it’s minor compared to the father/child bride pairings we so often see.
Congrats! And he is Tom Hardy’s poor man
Amen to that, girl. Took the words right out of my nugget.
Bless this post.
Really nice couple. And the age difference is not really visible – she doesn’t look much older than him. The best thing, though, about this pairing is that there’s still hope for ladies in their 40’s!
But Logan Marshall Green isn’t quirky or bald!
He’s also not engaged and soon to lose his fiance due to toxic wedding invitation envelopes! 😉
Maybe he enjoys a nice marble rye?
Whoa he’s HOTTTT! Get your Marisa! Love her!
Very happy for both of them, they’ve been together a long time. I remember looking him up when I saw that she brought him to one of the awards shows a few years ago because (like a few others here commented) I thought he was Tom Hardy. The resemblance was much stronger back then when they were both playing soldier boy-type roles.
Congrats to the couple. I feel sorry for Logan, he’ll always be known as the American Tom Hardy no matter how talented he is.
She is lovely. Good for them.
LOVED LOVED LOVED her in Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School. She just has this whole aura of being a wonderful, likable person. Congratulations to them both!
Surprised they are getting married. Thought they’d be one of those committed, but unmarried couples.
Congratulations to them!
Congrats to them!
I’ve always liked her, and she looks great. I’d never guess she was 48!
Age difference doesn’t bother me – once you’re in your 30s, 10-15 years doesn’t matter so much, IMO.
I actually think she is hotter than him.
Oh, I love this! Marisa is amazing-looking – I’d never really guess an age difference. She’s a cool-seeming woman.
OOOH he cute! Get it “Maggie”
I think Logan is better looking than Tom Hardy, to me anyway.
They’ve been together for a while and wish them the best.
They make a HOT couple!
I hate to bring the party down but her rep told E! that this was just a rumor and not true. Sorry everyone! Who knows, it still could happen eventually.
They are one hot, hot couple!
Get it girl!!!!
Uhm, no. I just don’t see the look-a-like to my Hardy. Maybe with the fuzz, but without it? Nope. No. Just…no.
Oh, and congrats and all that jazz. 🙂
He just doesn’t have “it”, does he? There’s something about Tom’s magnetism and charm that is kinda unique and HOT!
I think it’s the lips and the eyes. And whole sex appeal of Tom’s that is: “I will do things to you that may shame me and/or get me arrested but it would be beautiful and marvelous and I would regret nothing.” At least for me, anyways…
All THIS^ and more!
Having seen these two in person years ago I can attest to how utterly stunning they both are. I never would guess her to be 48. And the classy way in which she handled being accosted by some crazy fan on the street left me really impressed. Love her.
She is aging very gracefully. In this case their age difference is hardly noticeable. I don’t think she will get married, it’s obvious she doesn’t care to be married or have babies.
she’s gorgeous and seems really cool. I bet she has her pick of younger suitors.
so nice to see a 40-something woman in hollywoood who doesn’t look like she’s injected her face with every substance known to mankind. she looks pretty, healhty, and happy, and i agree she just seems like a nice person.
yay!
Alright now. Get it momma. I like her and she looks GREAT!
And Kaiser, thank you for my bearded Fass fix. I want to feel that beard tickle my mid section 😉 Oh my baby.
This guy is hot & a really good actor. I have mainly seen him as a character actor playing parts on various shows (such as “Law & Order SVU”). However, his acting always makes an impression on me. Good for Marisa…whether they’re engaged or not.
Saw Marisa at a Tricky concert in NYC years ago. She was mad cool.
I can’t believe she’s 48! She looks amazing. So much better than her filler-injected counterparts.
TREY! Watch out, girl…he’ll try to attack you on the beach! (Sorry…that was the “OC” fangirl in me coming out. Anyone remember how he played Ryan’s criminal brother, and then he attacked Marissa Cooper at the beach? That show was *heroin* to me. Lol!)
Glad I saw that Ms.Aubra upthread remembers Marisa’s first big role, as Maggie on “A Different World”! Lol She had red hair then, and she was one of the girls who lived in the dorms with Lisa Bonet when she left The Cosby Show and went to college. I’ve always loved Marisa. My favorite movie of hers was “Only You,” with Robery Downey Jr. The Rome travelporn in that movie is beautiful!
“Only You” hehe. That movie ignited a passion for Italy that is still with me today.
Demi Moore will be after the twin brother.
36 is too old for Demi.
CONGRATS! I am a firm believer in marriage, not the institution, but monogamy with the one you love!!!!!
I hope it works out great for these two. Marisa does seem like a good person.
Well said and I totally agree.
I see how you snuck Fassbender in there Kaiser. 😉
Wasn’t she struggling with alcohol problems since winning her Oscar?
Ha awesome. I just watched that Marisa Tomei episode on Seinfeld again yesterday.
Hmmmm……I always thought she was gay. Did anyone else think she was lez. too?? If this is true this is a big surprise to me.
He’s a hottie! All I thought when I read this was: YOU GO GIRL! Love Marisa Tomei – she is such a classy, cool actress.
Wow, I had no idea they were dating. Love her and the age difference is not a big deal. Both are well into the solid adult stage. They make a really great looking couple. Congrats to both.
Congradulation’s, she looks awesome, wish her the best!
Granted she is beautiful to begin with, but this is what happens when a woman ages gracefully (read: no slug lips, plastic face, cutlet cheeks)…they ooze attractiveness, confidence, and sexiness.
PROTECT YOUR ASSETS, MARISSA! JUST SAYING…
Saw “Parental Guidance” recently with my daughter. Very distracted at how good Marisa looks. Still can’t act though. Hope the relationship lasts.
Dude is a hybrid of Tom Hardy and Eddie Cibrian…weeeeeird! But not bad either…
Who cares whether they get married? What a hot couple.
