The bride-to-be, who showed off her 17.5 carat diamond ring during her appearance, has been single for 20 years following what she says was an abusive relationship.
“I felt that I didn’t want to have anything to do with men or that they would control me… But things have changed,” she said. “And now I’m open.”
The couple has not picked a date for their nuptials, but they have begun entertaining the idea of expanding their family through adoption.
