Carey Mulligan is engaged to Marcus Mumford after just five months
It was only the end of March when we first heard that British actress Carey Mulligan, 26, was dating British singer Marcus Mumford, 24. Mumford is the lead singer of the Grammy nominated band Mumford and Sons and you might know them from their hit The Cave. Things seem to be going very well for these two, because if The Sun is accurate Marcus popped the question with a diamond ring while they were having a weekend away. I wonder who The Sun paid off or whose phone they listened in on to get that piece of information.
THEY’RE keeping mum about it – but actress Carey Mulligan is believed to be engaged to her folk rock fella Marcus Mumford.
The Mumford & Sons singer is thought to have popped the question at the weekend in a posh hotel.
Oscar-nominated Carey, 26, spent the intimate break at £250-a-night Babington House in Somerset showing guests her new diamond ring.
An onlooker said: “Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream. She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn’t seem to mind who saw it.
“They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word.”
The loved-up pair have only been dating for five months after meeting when he performed in Nashville, Tennessee.

So Carey must have flown straight back to the UK after her gig at ComicCon on Thursday to promote Drive. Here’s a link to photos of the place where they were allegedly staying and it looks amazing. What a romantic place that must have been to get engaged. It sounds quick to get engaged after less than six months, but maybe they’ll wait a while before they make it official. If they do get married Carey will probably keep her name for professional purposes, but she would also be cute as Carey Mumford or Carey Mulligan Mumford. There’s something so practical-sounding about that name, like a tough but caring character in a British drama.
Here’s a video of Carey and Marcus outside a Mumford and Son’s gig in Arizona in late April. They dance around at about :20 in and then hug until about :35. They look really playful and sweet together. Congratulations to the two of them! I have a lot of respect for Carey and it looks like she found a decent guy.
