On paper, Mandy Moore’s love life has been just as successful as Jennifer Love Hewitt’s. Let’s just hope this engagement fares a bit better.

Despite breaking up last summer, 24-year-old Mandy Moore and musician Ryan Adams are now engaged. The two started dating back in December 2007 only to call it quits by July. At that time, Adams, 34, told OK! magazine that the media spotlight was just too much for him.

“Unfortunately I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter, staying close to my support group of friends and band mates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others,” he said. “I found the entire speculation and subsequent photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as possible, so that I might always remain punk as f*** AND sober.”
