‘The Talk’ co-host Sara Gilbert announced Monday on the show that she and girlfriend Linda Perry are engaged.
Gilbert dished the intimate details of the proposal orchestrated by Linda, the former front-woman of 4 Non Blondes.
They were having a romantic picnic in a Los Angeles park when a guitar strumming street musician began playing one of their favorite songs. Sara said, “I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s so weird, this is so magical and amazing.'”
That’s when the picnickers sitting next to them pulled out string instruments and began serenading them with The Cure’s ‘Love Song.'”
Perry reportedly wore five different t-shirts, each with the words “Will,” “You,” “Marry,” “Me,” “?”. The entire scene was witnessed by both of their mothers and several friends who joined their picnic.
Linda sang Sara’s favorite sad love song which she calls a breakup song, “Missing You.” Sara said, “We had our proposal with our breakup song, which is great.”
Gilbert was overwhelmed, “I think that’s it and it’s like the most amazing proposal ever.”
Sara ‘came out’ in 2010, revealing that she and TV producer Alison Adler had been in a long-term relationship since 2001. They share custody of son Levi, 8, and daughter Sawyer, 5, following their split in August 2011.
The former ‘Roseanne’ star began dating Linda Perry in December 2011.
Sara said yesterday during her engagement announcement, “I thank you all for your support on the issue of gay marriage. I’m super shy and don’t usually want to tell anything. But I wanted you guys to know because I feel like you’re a part of our family here.”
