Emmy-nominated "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross decided to get married with her boyfriend, businessman Tom Mahoney, after his proposal.

According to Marcia's spokesperson, Heidi Slan, Cross, 43, accepted Mahoney's proposal last weekend, but they didn't yet choose a wedding date. Slan says: "The happy couple have not set a date for the wedding yet."

This will be the first marriage for both of them.

Earlier this year, Marcia was rumoured of being gay, but the red-head actress slammed accusations.

At the time, she said: "It's very odd and I assume this is what comes of being 42 and single. I don't know if they just needed to find a reason why I wasn't married... I mean, I'm not (a lesbian)."
