Chris Barish pops the question

Chris Barish has been busy while ex-wife Michelle has been dating New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Barish, who has made millions investing in nightclubs and restaurants, is engaged to get married in May to the lovely Julie Mulligan, an architect at The New School.

Barish popped the question after bringing Mulligan to the June wedding of his friend Chris O’Neill to Princess Madeleine of Sweden.

The lovebirds went to the Amalfi coast of Italy, to Capri and then Positano. “It was very romantic. I got carried away,” Barish told me. “They had a fairy-tale wedding, and then we had a fairy-tale engagement.”

Following in the footsteps of his father, Keith Barish, who produced “The Fugitive” and “Sophie’s Choice,” Chris has launched a production company focused on family entertainment.

His first feature, “Zoey to the Max,” starring Amy Smart and Grant Bowler, is about the journey of a 13-year-old foster child who finds the loving family she’s always been hoping for after running away to the desert.

It’s all about family.
