The 31-year-old celeb revealed during The Real (airing Monday) that she's engaged to
longtime love Lenny Santiago! But of course she didn't just blurt
it out. She had a plan when it came to announcing the big news to her fellow
co-hosts and the audience. Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry and Bailon were flipping through
magazine pages looking for the latest news about Hollywood when Adrienne
exclaimed that there was a very important story that wasn't in included.
"It's
not in here, you know why? Because no one knows," Bailon began and gave a
sneaky look at her gal-pals that got everyone wondering what she's about to
say. That's when Adrienne propped her left arm on the desk to reveal the major
(and beautiful!) bling on that finger, which instantly drew gasps
from everyone.
"I'm engaged," she
announced, and the reactions from her co-hosts were so sweet (and kinda hilarious...we could
watch Tamar's shocked face on loop).
While being
hugged by the other ladies, Bailon explained that while on a visit back home in
New York recently, her beau of almost six years convinced her to get out of her
pajamas one night and go to a nice dinner with the family. When they got to the
empty restaurant in upstate New York, Santiago gave a speech to her parents
about how much he loves their daughter and said he had a gift for everyone.
The surprise
present—wait, it's not what you think—was supposed to show the family that he
knows Adrienne is worth it and will be able to give her everything she deserves
in due time. Bailon continues to share that she ripped through the tissue in
the box to find...carrots. Yep, carrots.
"Was this like the harvest of
our love?" Bailon joked, and explained that she expressed her appreciation
and love for the carrots, regardless. Then, Santiago says, "Well, since
you said yes to those carrots..." and gets on his knee to propose with
that gorgeous sparkler.
