Cheech Marin Engaged To Pianist Natasha Rubin, Is 2 Classy 4 U

Bad news, ladies: Cheech Marin is now engaged to professional classical pianist Natasha Rubin. He’s been dating the Russian-born Rubin for about four and a half years now, and the fancypants piano player is just one of several indications that the man most famously known for smoking a giant joint in a lowrider is way too classy for you.

For example, Cheech is an avid collector of Chicano art. His interest has even earned him an honor from The Smithsonian Latino Center for promoting Latino artists.

Another thing that 62-year-old Cheech enjoys collecting is wives. He’s had two so far - Rikki Morley and Patti Heid. Maybe third time will be the charm? She’s certainly prestigious enough for Cheech’s taste.

Rubin moved to the U.S. in 1995, after having attended the Special Music School for Gifted Children, the Rimsky-Korsakov Music College (where she graduated with honors) and the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. Plus? She’s good at posing:

Cheech - or Richard Anthony Marin, if you’re so inclined - proposed to Rubin at the elegant Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Los Angeles. Superfuckingclassy and romantic? Swoon.

Congratulations, you two little chicharrones.
