Back in the day, I had such a big crush on Dylan McDermott. It was in the ‘90s, in my defense. Everyone loves Dylan McDermott back then. And Dylan still looks remarkably good for his age (or any age): he’s 53 years old! Dylan and Rob Lowe, man. They’re vampires. They still look pretty much the same as they did 20 years ago. Anyway, Dylan met Maggie Q while they were working on CBS’s Stalker. As far as I know, they were both single and ready to mingle, and that’s exactly what happened. They mingled all the way into an engagement! Maggie – who is 35 years old – confirmed the engagement news yesterday.

To be fair, the engagement story has been around for a few months. Apparently, this whole thing was a “whirlwind” romance. They started dating last October and he proposed within a few months. The first engagement reports came out in January and on Monday night, Maggie and Dylan walked the Insurgent carpet while she flashed her ring.

In red carpet interviews and on The View yesterday, Maggie confirmed some other stuff about their romance – she said that her dog has “accepted” Dylan into their lives too. She said she wanted an Art Deco engagement ring and that’s what she got. She told E! that: “I wanted art deco, and I got it. You know, I think we always have to be involved [in ring shopping] in some way—his idea was the marriage and my idea was the style of the ring.” She said they haven’t set a wedding date yet.

So, what do you think? Is this couple a snooze? Or would you like to hear more about them? I guess it’s somewhat notable that he’s 18 years older than her, but it doesn’t seem too crazy considering she’s well into her 30s and she knows what she’s getting into. This coupling reminds me a bit of Tim Daly and Tea Leoni – they’re old enough to know what they’re doing, no one got homewrecked, and everything seems fine and non-scandalous.
