Put a Stake in It : Your Spike is off the Market...Or is he?

You may never have heard his music, whether solo (probably because an album is $30) or with the band Ghost of the Robot.  

You may not even realize he's on the ticket for the Wizard World con or DragonCon.  He's even the bad guy in Dragonball Evolution (for those of you with kids).

However, you probably remember the sexy bad boy from his role as Buffy's love slave in the series.  He played Spike, or William the Bloody, a poet turned bad-ass vamp who slayed some slayers and literally brought the house down the first time he and Buffy...well, you know.

But your fantasies may have to stay on screen, as James Marsters is rumored to be engaged to 24-year-old girlfriend Patricia Rahman.   

People reports that he met her in 2006 at a concert in Amsterdam.  Marsters said, "I met her backstage and got her phone number, but then my jeans were cleaned out by the crew and they threw it out. I'd given her my number, but she took down one digit wrong. It took her six months to call all of the different combinations." 

Rumor has it that they will marry in the fall, making this the 47-year-old's second marriage.

The engagement has been posted on the star's official site, but his official Facebook and Twitter pages say "Clarification: James Marsters and Steve Himber have made no public comments regarding the engagement. Any posts attributed to them are bogus."

Internet speculation from fans is that the couple is engaged, but it seems that someone is posing as Marsters and  Himber (I think that's his manager) on websites and making false comments about the actual relationship or elaborating on the engagement.  But really, do you think he's really posting on FB or http://twitter.com/JM_Live rather than having an employee do it? He's probably too busy to Tweet much less comment about his relationship on a message board.

In order to forgo any false leads or spread further information that may be false, perhaps fans should focus on where we can see the star on TV again. CBS has been approved to remake Hawaii Five-0 and the star is scheduled to play a reoccurring guest star as nemesis of lead character Steve McGarrett.  

IMBD hasn't released a cast list yet.
