The Beverly Hills Cop star, 57, has popped the question to the 39-year-old model after announcing she is pregnant with his 10th child last month.
A rep for the Hollywood actor confirmed the engagement to on Friday.
It comes after the couple revealed that Paige is expecting Eddie's 10th child, following the birth of his ninth child, Izzy Oona Murphy, in 2016.

Daddy Day Care actor Eddie already has Bria, 28, Miles, 25, Shayne, 23, Zola, 18, and Bella, 16, with ex-wife Nicole Murphy, who he split from in 2006 after 22 years of marriage.

Eddie opened up about his offspring and said he "got lucky"; with his kids.
According to PEOPLE, he said: "There really isn’t a bad one in the bunch, everyone turned out to be really good people."
But he admitted they're not like him at all.
He said: "You know what is funny? None of my kids are like me, and I’m sure parents say this all of the time, they are all totally different from each other.
"None of them are chips off the old block. They all have their own thing, they’re good kids."
However, he previously said his kids are the "brightest part" of his life.
He told Entertainment Tonight in 2016: "The brightest part of my life is my kids. "My world revolves around them -- even the old, grey bald ones."
