(JTA) — Mazel tov to David Copperfield and Chloe Gosselin on their engagement!

The 57-year-old Jewish illusionist formerly known as David Kotkin and his new fiance, French model Gosselin, 28, have a 3-year-old daughter together named Sky.

This is Copperfield’s second time popping the question to a model. Back in the 90s he was famously engaged to Claudia Schiffer for six years before the relationship fizzled.

“Oh, that was a long time ago,” he told Hello! Magazine. “Now I’m engaged and in a committed relationship with Chloe in my mind and my heart.”

No news on wedding plans yet, but we’re betting on Copperfield Bay, the magic man’s very own 11-island archipelago in the Caribbean where Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem got hitched.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
