Sara Evans, who finalized a bitter divorce last year, is engaged to former University of Alabama quarterback Jay Barker.

"The couple are enjoying their engagement and look forward to their upcoming nuptials," Lori Genes, the singer's publicist at Sony BMG Nashville, said Tuesday in Nashville, Tenn.

No date has been announced for the wedding.

The 37-year-old country singer filed for divorce from husband Craig Schelske in October 2006 after 13 years of marriage. The divorce was completed last September.

Barker, 35, led Alabama to a national championship in 1992 and hosts a morning radio show in Birmingham.

Barker, who's also divorced, has four children while Evans has three.
