Fawcett, who is struggling to overcome cancer.
The 68-year-old actor says in an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20" that he asked his longtime companion to marry him and "she's agreed."
O'Neal tells Walters: "I used to ask her to marry me all the time. It just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.
Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver. The “Charlie’s Angels” star and O’Neal have a 24-year-old son, Redmond.
O'Neal says the 62-year-old actress is "fighting for her life," but despite her declining health, they will "absolutely" get married.
The two have been together since 1980, and almost tied the knot while Fawcett was undergoing cancer treatment in Germany, the New York Daily News reports.
