Carter Oosterhouse and Amy Smart made their debut as a couple in January.

Amy Smart is ready to build herself a new life with a hunky handyman.

Following a five-month whirlwind romance, the 35-year-old actress has become engaged to HGTV personality Carter Oosterhouse.

Confirming the news to Us Weekly, Smart called the engagement "very new" and "very exciting."

According to the magazine, Oosterhouse, 34, popped the question four days ago in Los Angeles.

"It was a very big surprise but she is thrilled and is very excited," said the source. "They are a good pair and very in sync with each other."

The couple, who first met at a green-charity event in November 2010, made their debut as a couple at an Art of Elysium gala in January.

Being environmentally-friendly seems to be a primary focus for the couple.

"He's an eco-carpenter; Amy drives a hybrid and is the greenest girl I know. They are perfect for each other," a second source told the mag. "Here are two wholesome, kind, sweet Midwestern types. Neither has sold out and gone Hollywood."
