The OC actor Tate Donovan,
who plays Marissa's dad Jimmy Cooper on the FOX soap, is engaged
to Corinne Kingsbury, 29, an L.A.-based entrepreneur, PEOPLE reports
in its latest issue.
The lifelong bachelor, 42,
a onetime beau of Sandra Bullock's and Jennifer Aniston's, plans
to run the New York City Marathon Nov. 6 and attend a six-hour preparatory
marriage counseling session the next day.
"Hopefully I can
do it in a hot tub," jokes the actor, who currently appears
in George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck.
Meanwile,
Tate's TV daughter, Mischa Barton, 19, has a new romance of her
own brewing with 27-year-old singer Cisco Adler of the L.A. rock
outfit Whitestarr.
Barton,
who broke up with oil heir Brandon Davis in July, and Adler, whose
failed engagement to Rod Stewart’s daughter Kimberly reportedly
resulted in her altering a tattoo from "Daddy’s Little
Girl Loves Cisco" to "Daddy’s Little Girl Loves
Disco," have been spotted dining around L.A.
"She's really happy," says a source
close to Barton. "They're taking it one day at a time, but
they're together and having fun."
