THE LOW DOWN: Are Serena + Common finally getting hitched?

Is Common going to pop the big question to Serena Williams?

The rumor mill is buzzing over at The Chicago Sun-Times about the potential engagement between the two stars. The pair were first spotted together last November in NYC at sister Venus' launch party for her clothing line EleVen.

Bill Zwecker notes:

Not only is the romance between Chicago rapper and actor Common and tennis queen Serena Williams back on -- I'm hearing an engagement could be in the works. While Williams was very cagey about Common when asked about their relationship at the recent Wimbledon championship (''He's a great guy, but right now, I'm just concentrating on my tennis''), a good Common source says the talented entertainer has been checking out some serious bling -- focusing on some major engagement rings.

It's obvious they're still together since they were both seen hitting up the Big Mac 40th Anniversary event although, to be fair, they didn't technically arrive together.

Just come out already - geez. Oh yeah, and in case it's true: happy engagement in advance!
