LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Sara Evans, the country cutie who quit "Dancing With the Stars" in Season 3 over a divorce battle, is engaged.

The singer, known for her hits including "A Real Fine Place To Start," is happily gearing up to wed Jay Barker, a rep for Evans confirmed to People.

"The couple are enjoying their engagement and look forward to their upcoming nuptials," the rep said.

Barker was a quarterback for the University of Alabama. He helped the Crimson Tide team win a National Championship in 1992. He is now a sports radio host in Alabama.

Evans was previously married to Craig Schelske, with whom she has three children.

In 2006, Evans became embroiled in a heated divorce with Schelske, which led to her leaving "Dancing" mid-way through the competition. The two both levied nasty allegations of adultery in the divorce, which was finalized last year.

    It seems like some ppl have no idea what it is like to go thru a divorce much less deal with it all on the table. I couldn't wait to get divorced. My life was so complicated when I was married, even with kids it don't make things any easier. So congrats to anyone who has been thru a divorce and SURVIVED IT!!. Male or female it still takes its toll. Besides Sara is an awesome arti

    who cares? she's just a singer with only a few hits. one of these days we're all going to be saying "remember her?" regardless of her status, i hope she will be happy. now on to important things.

    Obviously you folks do not understand the divorce, and feelings you have, I have been divorced. I already hated him, wanted to get on with my life as soon as posible so I could get the bad taste out of my mouth. I am sure she was ready for a divorce long before it happened. The divorce decree is just the icing on the cake.
