The Hawaii Democrat announced in a statement today that he is engaged to Irene Hirano, the president and chief executive officer of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
The couple has set a May 24 wedding date for a private ceremony with immediate family in Los Angeles.
"Irene is an extraordinary woman of grace, intelligence and accomplishment," Inouye said in a statement. "She is a rare gem in our society. Without question, I am a very fortunate and lucky man."
Inouye was widowed in March 2006 when his wife, Margaret "Maggie" Shinobu Awamura Inouye, passed away from complications of colon cancer.
