The actress says actor Darren La Gallo - who she has been in a relationship with for six years - is very thoughtful and is always doing little romantic things to make her happy.
She said: "Darren gives up a lot and gives me a lot. He comes to visit me on set. He draws me a bath when I get home. He's an actor and also an artist and he sends me drawings. Just lots of sweet little things to keep us connected."
Amy was thrilled when Darren asked her to marry him on the set of her latest movie 'Julie and Julia' - which is about world-famous chef Julia Child and writer Julie Powell, who challenged herself to cook Julia's recipes - but admits her mind was elsewhere when he popped the question.
She explained to Parade magazine: "I got engaged the night before we wrapped 'Julie and Julia'. It was funny because I was actually running lines from the script in my head while we were taking this romantic carriage ride in Central Park (New York). I felt really bad for Darren. I was like, 'You should get a re-do because you were cheated.' All I was thinking about was my last day at work."
Although Darren is the love of her life, Amy says he has to share her with their pet dogs Pippy and Sadie.
The 34-year-old star revealed: "We went to a Chihuahua rescue place and I found Pippy, I like to rescue dogs. It sounds so noble to say 'rescuing a dog,' I guess, but I like to adopt them. We also have Sadie, another Chihuahua that we rescued as well. My fiance saw it in a pet store where a woman had saved it from the pound and he just brought it home."
