Zooey Deschanel is reportedly engaged to Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard. A source close to the couple shared the news with Us Weekly, after another tab incorrectly reported that Zooey was getting hitched to some other musician.

Rumors that the Yes Man actress, 28, was getting married spread after In Touch falsely reported she was engaged to a different musician: Hunter Burgan, a bass guitarist for AFI.

Deschanel and Gibbard, 32, are “so thrilled,” the source tells Us. “Zooey was swept off her feet, and Ben is so excited.”

Zooey and Ben started dating a year ago, and teamed up onstage to perform “Dream” at an Obama fundraiser last August.
