LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian Engaged!

After a tumultuous two years making headlines in the tabloids, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are officially getting married.

"Yes, they were engaged over the holidays and are very happy," her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. The couple spent the Christmas holiday at home in Los Angeles and a source tells PEOPLE, they "had family and close friends in town who helped them celebrate."

Rimes also shared her happiness on Twitter Monday afternoon: "Thank you for all your well wishes!! We are extremely excited and look forward to a beautiful future. It's been an incredible last few days, I was shocked!!! We are blessed, our families are so happy and our lives are filled with love," she Tweeted.

Rimes and Cibrian were spotted Monday on the beach in Malibu--and the country singer was sporting a new engagement ring. A source close to the couple tells PEOPLE that the platinum ring features a 5-carat oval diamond set in rose gold fleur-de-lis connected to the band.

Rimes and Cibrian met and began a relationship while filming the Lifetime movie, 'Northern Lights' in 2008. Both were married at the time but have since divorced their spouses to be together. Rimes has since been very open about the difficulty of ending her first marriage to Dean Sheremet after news of her relationship with Cibrian made headlines.

"I take responsibility for everything I've done," she told PEOPLE earlier this year. "I hate that people got hurt. But I don't regret the outcome."

When the couple marries, Rimes will become stepmom to Cibrian's two children from his previous marriage to Brandi Glanville: Mason, 7, and Jake, 3.

Photo: LeAnn Rimes Gets in the (Sexy) Christmas Spirit

Following in the footsteps of the Kardashians and Paris Hilton, LeAnn Rimes is showing off her sexy side this holiday season. The singer posted some photos of herself all dressed up as a sexy Santa on her Twitter account this weekend.

On Sunday morning, Rimes Tweeted, "Happy Sunday! Only 6 days til Christmas! Which means, only 9 days til sun and beach!!! Too much fun overload!!"

Just a few hours later, she posted her first sultry photo with this caption: "Mrs. Clause at your service ... LOL." Rimes, who is currently dating actor Eddie Cibrian, wore a Santa-themed, cleavage-baring outfit with knee-high boot and red lipstick.

Less than an hour later, the country crooner posted another sexy photo--featuring Rimes rocking the same sexy outfit and surrounded by a bunch of elves. "Santa's Elves and Me!" she Tweeted.

"Happy Monday! Not just any Monday though, Christmas week Monday!!!" she wrote.
