‘We’re gonna keep him around!’ Malin Akerman is celebrating her engagement to ‘sweet and loving’ Jack Donnelly

‘I think we’re gonna keep him around for a while.’

The Wanderlust star added a winking smiley face and tagged her post: ‘engaged’, ‘I said yes’, ‘Jack Donnelly’ and ‘family’.

Malin, 39, went public with the 31-year-oldin March, when they were photographed kissing in Puerto Rico.

The Swedish-born star was previously married to musician Roberto Zincone, but their six-year-marriage came to an end shortly after she welcomed Sebastian in 2013.

Last January, Malin opened up to People magazine about the split, revealing her ‘roll with the punches’ attitude to life.

She said: ‘You can’t control life. I roll with the punches and ultimately it’s like, ‘Where is the opportunity in this?’ 

‘And that’s been a nice way to look at it. Like, oh my God, I get to have so much special time with my son now.’

But she added that any new man in her life would have to compete with her child for attention.

Malin added: ‘It’s hard because your heart is so full for your child, the next guy that comes along is going to have a lot of competition!’

Malin is currently starring in Showtime’s hit series Billions alongside British superstar Damian Lewis.

The blonde beauty plays Lara Axelrod, the wife of slightly manic whizz financier Bobby ‘Ax’ Axelrod in the show, which addresses the world of high finance and insider trading.

Malin previously starred in ABC sitcom Trophy Wife alongside Bradley Whitford and garnered acclaim for her performance in horror film The Final Girls, 2015.
