May The Force be strong with their marriage!

According to the Huffington Post, Star Wars guru George Lucas is now engaged to fellow power player Mellody Hobson.

Mellody, 43, is the president of the Chicago investment firm Ariel Investments, LLC, which reportedly manages more than $3 billion in assets, and she's a regular contributor to Good Morning America on financial issues. George, 68, recently sold Lucasfilm LTD to Disney for $4 billion, then donated the money to an education foundation.

George was married once before, from 1969 to 1983, and he has three adopted children. This will be Mellody's first marriage. These two have been dating for about seven years.

Congrats to the happy (and wealthy) couple!
