First sexy, now he's rumoured to be bringing marriage back.

Justin Timberlake and on-again, off-again girlfriend Jessica Biel are engaged, according to magazine reports.

Timberlake proposed to the New Year's Eve star in Jackson, Wyoming, while vacationing there in late December, Us Weekly reported on Wednesday.

"Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place," one unnamed "insider" told the magazine.

The couple, who began dating in 2007, split in March of last year and then re-kindled their romance three months later. The magazine suggests marriage was in their future at the time.

"When they re-united, they had a conversation about taking the next step," according to the Us source.

The rumour of their engagement was a hot topic of Internet chatter on Wednesday. Neither star's representatives had confirmed or denied the rumour as of late afternoon.
