ABC news is reporting that long time couple Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett have decided to get married.

In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters, O’Neil said, “I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed.”

Farrah, who has been battling cancer, is said to be deteriorating.

As for when the two will get hitched, Ryan said laughingly, “We will, as soon as she can, say yes. … Maybe we can just nod her head.”
