He proposed to her during a recent trip to New Zealand, according to UK media reports.
A family friend was quoted by London's Evening Standard as saying: "Hayley and her Frenchman, Arnaud Sabard, came to stay for a couple of days and, exciting news, they became engaged.
Westenra has just returned to her London base after spending Christmas with her family in Christchurch and is due to launch her Paridiso tour in Britain.
