Sophie Monk Announces Engagement to Businessman Jimmy Esebag

Actress/model/singer Sophie Monk announced on a radio breakfast show in Australia that she got engaged to American businessman Jimmy Esebag, who is nearly 20 years her senior.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Monk, 31, said on the show, "I got engaged, and I kept it quiet so no one's heard much about him. ... It feels right -- I think you know when you know."

She previously described Esebag, 50, as a longtime friend and her "soul partner."

Monk went on to say, "I'm marrying a male version of myself, which is dangerous but good. ... He's a keeper."

The Daily Mail reports that Monk described her engagement ring as a "chandelier," which was designed by a jeweler friend of her fiance. She also revealed that Esebag proposed to her at Monk's favorite LA restaurant.

Monk has been romantically linked with Benji Madden, Ryan Seacrest and 'Entourage' star Kevin Connolly in the past.

Esebag is chairman of America's Licensing Holding Group, which owns the rights to the Playboy brand, and is also involved with Elite Modeling Agency.
