In addition to winning ABC's Skating with the Stars shortly before Christmas, Budig also got engaged to Michael Benson, her boyfriend of nine months, on Christmas Day.

"We don't have any wedding plans yet," Budig told People. "He's an amazing man and we're just really happy."

Benson, a television marketing executive, proposed to the Skating with the Stars champion on Christmas Day with a vintage ring featuring a ruby and an old European cut diamond.

"It's a really unique design and it's really stunning," Budig said.

The All My Children actress and former wife of fourth-season The Bachelor star Bob Guiney will be walking down the aisle for the third time. 

Budig and Guiney wed in July 2004, however she filed for divorce in April and their split was reportedly finalized in July after five years of marriage.

It feels great!  I know it's only a TV show, but it feels great!
