US actress Christina Ricci is engaged to her camera technician boyfriend James Heerdegen.

The couple met when they were working on her TV series Pan-Am, and their relationship went public last February.

Despite the great news, Ricci, 32, says Valentine's Day won't be an extravagant one.

"Honestly, I was trying to think of that before, I can't remember a single Valentine's Day!" she said, laughing.

"I personally just don't think I've ever made a big deal about Valentine's Day, I mean I like to get like flowers."
