She said “I will” …
Carrie Ann Inaba, the popular judge on the ABC hit show Dancing with the Stars, got engaged while appearing as a guest co-host this morning on Live! With Regis and Kelly.
Rumors have surfaced in the past few weeks that she was already engaged to Jesse Sloan based upon something she said during a recent magazine interview, revealing that she was anticipating a summer beach wedding.
Carrie Ann cleared that all up for Regis Philbin and his audience just minutes before her boyfriend actually popped the question, when she stated that they were moving along in that direction but there was still no ring on her finger to seal the deal.
To set up the situation, Regis called for the lights to be dimmed, and read a trumped up letter from a viewer looking for advice on how to propose to his girlfriend of two years. Right on cue and with romantic music playing on the set, Sloan came out from backstage with the engagement ring in hand.
Jesse said: “I struggle to find the words to express what you mean to me. You’re an inspiration. You’re everything to me. Will you marry me?”
A teary-eyed Inaba replied: “Yes, I will marry you.”
