Nelly Furtado Engaged to Sound Engineer Boyfriend

Grammy winner Nelly Furtado is engaged to sound engineer Demacio “Demo” Castellon, who worked on her hit 2006 album Loose, PEOPLE confirms. Their close friend, music producer Timbaland, gave a one-word reply when asked if the engagement was true: “Yes.” The British Columbia-born Furtado, 28, told Blender in July 2006 she had a “secret boyfriend” of eight months, adding: “I just don’t really talk about it. It’s nobody famous or anything.” Furtado has a daughter, Nevis, 3, with her ex-boyfriend, DJ and producer Jasper “Lil’ Jaz” Gahunia. She and Gahunia split in 2005 after four years together, but Furtado told Blender: “We’re fully active co-parents and really close friends.”
