“Avatar” actress Zoe Saldana is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Keith Britton, Us Weekly reported Wednesday.
Saldana, 32, has dated Britton, an actor and entrepreneur, for ten years.
The two have maintained a low-profile relationship since they met in 2000 but recently Saldana has “come out of the closet” about their romance.
“I have to thank that one special person who always gets buried and overlooked,” Saladana said of Britton when she accepted the “MaxMara Face of the Future Award” at the Women in Film’s 2010 Crystal & Lucy Awards earlier in June, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“I’ve lived a very private life, and I’ve been with a partner for 10 years who has allowed me to age… He’s super bright, and he’s here tonight and we’re just gonna come out of the closet right now.”
Saladana played the role of Neytiri, the Na’vi princess, in James Cameron’s 2009 movie “Avatar.” She was also cast as Lieutenant Uhura in the “Star Trek” movie.
