They say the third time is lucky and Carmen Electra will learn if it works for her as well, as she prepares to marry guitarist Rob Patterson.

Carmen Electra is engaged to musician Rob Patterson, her publicist, Jill Fritzo, confirmed Thursday to People.com.

“He told friends three days ago that he got engaged,” adds a source. “The ring is a black diamond set in white diamonds.”

The two lovebirds apparently decided on lifelong plans over the weekend, when Patterson, 37, the former touring guitarist for Korn, proposed to Electra while they celebrated her 36th birthday in Las Vegas.

The couple have been dating less than a year according to People.

This will be her third marriage. She was previously wed to basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman, for a very short time, as the marriage was annulled after 10 days, and to Jane’s Addiction rocker Dave Navarro.

Electra shared her second marriage with the world by starring with her hubby in the MTV reality show “Till Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave.” She and Navarro divorced in 2006.

She recently confessed she wanted to start a family with Patterson, her boyfriend of almost a year, saying, “I have pictured myself as a mother for years and look forward to fulfilling that strong desire,” according to media reports.

Electra became famous for her Playboy appearances in the 1990s. She appeared in the television series “Baywatch” and has had roles in movies such as “Scary Movie” and “Meet the Spartans.”
