"They are both over the moon," the actor's representative
Karon Maskill said in a statement.
Cumberbatch, 38, is nominated for best actor at Sunday's Golden
Globe Awards for his role as mathematician Alan Turing in "The
Imitation Game." Last year, he won the accolade in the
television category for his portrayal of detective Sherlock
Holmes in BBC's "Sherlock."
His engagement to British actress Hunter was formally announced
in UK newspaper The Times last November.
