Kat Von D & Jesse James Are Re-Engaged

Kat Von D and Jesse James‘ engagement is back on!

“Sometimes you are only given one chance in life,” Jesse, 42, told People. “It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her.”

The on-again couple, who initially split in late July, also each posted pics of them together on their Twitter accounts.

Jesse wrote “para siempre” – Spanish for “forever” – with a photo of him kissing Kat, 29.

The engagement news comes on the same day that TLC announced it was ending Kat‘s show LA Ink.

Kat responded, telling People, “In an effort to capitalize on my recent breakup, the network has decided to focus their energy on re-editing events that didn’t happen while filming. I have no regrets and am very proud of the original footage. In my opinion, any attempt to compromise the honesty of that would be an insult to my fans and viewers.”
