With the confirmation of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler becoming judges on the next season of ‘American Idol’ finally made public, another report has come in from the hit reality show: last season’s runner-up, Crystal Bowersox, is engaged to musician Brian Walker, E! reported on September 25. The news comes after the 25-year-old singer ended her publicized relationship with her last boyfriend, Tony Kusian, who was a constant presence throughout the season, just before before the finale in May.

This marks the first marriage for Bowersox, though she has a two-year-old son from a previous relationship. The ceremony is set for October, PEOPLE is reporting.

In addition to her fast-tracked relationship with Walker, Bowersox had a busy summer, singing with the rest of the Top 10 contestants on the ‘Idols Live’ tour. She also got her famously-gapped teeth fixed in July, and started recording her debut album.
