Jennifer Hudson and boyfriend, David Otunga, have gotten engaged, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"I can confirm that Jennifer got engaged to her boyfriend David on Friday night in L.A." says the rep.

Otunga, who is known as "Punk" from the reality show I Love New York 2, popped the question with a Neil Lane diamond ring on the Dreamgirls Oscar winner's 27th birthday.

The couple, who have been dating less than a year, both hail from Chicago.

Um...ew.

[.:sprigged:.]

Flavor of Love + Oscar winner?

Gross. How can she show any interest in a man that went on national tv and made a fool of himself to get with that New York chick?

[Style-Addict]

I thought she was with that long time boyfriend of hers from where ever she's from?!?

Punk? Ugh. Disgusting. Can't believe he has a law education, but is willing to make a fool of himself on national tv. He has a law degree, there are so many great things you could do with that!!

Well if it makes anyone feel better he was the most decent character on I love New York.. (which I guess isn't saying that much...)

He's a Harvard grad and a lawyer, so he's intelligent. The only thing that's off-putting is that he "dated" New York.

I was definitely shocked at first-however he was the most decent person on any of those Celebreality shows.

that degree sure didn't make him any smarter.

^ LOL! So true. He's an educated man. How in the hell was this show supposed to help his career? If anything, people would be turned off that he actually went on and tried to win New York's heart. I never watched her show, so I don't know about him being decent and all, I just think she's gross and any decent, educated guy that's willing to go on national tv and make a fool of himself by showing any interest in her has issues.
