Cee Lo Green is engaged

Recording a new album isn't the only thing Cee Lo Green has done in the last year: The singer revealed that he also proposed to his longtime girlfriend.

Green, 41, told People magazine that he's been engaged to Shani James, 38, for about a year. A representative for the Grammy winner confirmed the engagement on Friday. See their pic together here.

Green will release a new album, "Heart Blanche," on Nov. 6.

The former "Voice" coach said he and James didn't want to promote their engagement.

"We're a collective power together because our private life is sacred. But you know ... maybe it is time for the world to know that I have a very secure situation and a loving woman supporting me the entire way," he said.

Green was previously married to Christina Johnson.

In an interview with The Associated Press this week said he has grown personally and professionally and wants to return to "The Voice."

"I've talked very possibly about doing 'The Voice' again," Green said in an interview Wednesday. "So I just kind of put that out there, wishful thinking, kind of willing it. Because I would love to do it again."
