Congrats to Kill Bill star Uma Thurman - the Daily News is reporting that the actress has finally confirmed her engagement to financier Arpad "Arki" Busson!

A friend of Uma's family confirmed to the Daily News that "it's a done deal. They're already planning the wedding."

Rocking Uma's World
Busson reportedly presented Thurman with a truly extravagant engagement ring earlier this week. Friends describe Uma's rock as being so big "she can't fit it through the sleeve of her coat."

And apparently that's only a slight exaggeration - a spy spotted Uma at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara benefit last night and reported that "all the ladies' eyes were buggin' out"!

Bonding Over Tragedy
According to friends, Uma and Arki got together after commiserating over their struggles to see their children from previous relationships - hers with former husband Ethan Hawke, his with former fiancee Elle Macpherson.

"Uma was dealing with visitation issues with her two kids with Ethan," a friend tells the Daily News. "Arky [sic] was going through the same thing with Elle. They bonded."

And it sounds like the bond they've formed is serious - in fact, one family friend told the paper that the couple is "already planning the wedding"!

"Uma is hoping this time, it's really love," says the friend. "Everyone wants the best for her. And Arki is a really sweet guy."

Calls to Thurman's publicist were not returned in time.

Of course, we're thrilled for Uma and Arki - we wish you two all the best!
