Julia Stiles Engaged, Shows Off Ring On Instagram


Julia Stiles, 34, is finally engaged! The Save the Last Dance actress showed off her engagement ring on her official Instagram account with the caption, “Best Christmas Ever!” The image shows a picturesque view of the beach, but the focus is on Julia’s hand, entwined with the hand of her new fiancé.

As soon as Julia posted the pictured on Instagram, well-wishers started leaving her congratulatory messages for the couple on their engagement.

“How pretty is her ring?! I love it so classy and beautiful!!” wrote norchavez.

“Good for you young lady, here’s to you both, may the union reach the finish line,” wrote monkeypack4.

Julia Stiles’ husband-to-be is Preston Cook, a camera assistant she started dating after her breakup with David Harbour. According to the Huffington Post, Julia and Preston met on the set of the 2015 movie Go with Me, a thriller she worked on with Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta, and Alexander Ludwig. Stiles revealed that she is dating Preston in an interview with The Guardian back in July 2015. When asked about the best kiss of her life, Julia named Preston Cook.

“It might have happened this morning. I am dating a camera assistant I met at work called Preston.”

Though the couple have been dating for quite some time before their engagement, they managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, which is sometimes difficult for Hollywood celebrities.

The proposal was simple and intimate, and it happened on Christmas eve. Julia Stiles’ rep confirmed the news and said that Preston proposed in a private residence in Isla Grande, Colombia, where the two spent their holidays.

Julia Stiles has been busy with different projects, both in movies and television shows. She is the star of the Lifetime web series, Blue, where she plays a mother with a secret life.

In addition, she also worked on Misconduct alongside Al Pacino and Josh Duhamel, a drama-thriller due in February.
