Genre-bending Brit singer M.I.A. is engaged to a member of Montreal's affluent Bronfman clan, Sun Media has learned.
The performer became engaged last week to Benjamin Brewer, the son of Warner Music Group Chairman and CEO Edgar Bronfman Jr., according to sources close to the singer. Brewer is a guitarist for New York alt-rock band The Exit, whose biggest claim to fame might be having the song Susan appear on the American Pie 2 soundtrack. It is not known if the couple has set a wedding date or location.
M.I.A., 30, is touring Canada in support of her 2007 CD Kala. She made a stop in Toronto on Monday of this week. In an interview with Sun Media then, M.I.A. said she might have to get married to stay in the U.S., or move to Montreal following the expiration of her American work visa in June.
M.I.A. was born Mathangi Arulpragasam in London, England. She was raised in Sri Lanka, her family's native country, before they returned to London -- as refugees.
