Alex Guarnaschelli, the no-nonsense chef and Food Network star who rose to fame as a judge on cooking competition Chopped, is newly engaged to partner Michael Castellon.
Castellon, who is also a chef, prosed on Guarnaschelli’s 48th birthday. They were having a socially distanced get-together with some friends to celebrate, and the pair drove to the store for more supplies. On their way back, Castellon suddenly pulled the car over.
“So we were right by my house and he just pulled over on the side of the road anxiously. And he said, ‘I see a dog running around’,” Guarnaschelli tells People. “There’s this little park with a windmill. He like, ‘I see a dog running around in there without a leash.’ ”
He got out the car to inspect, then came back to tell Guarnaschelli it’s a baby deer and she needs to see it.
“So he’s like, ‘Shh. Come see it. It’s so cute.’ And I’m like, ‘We’re going to have to do something. We’re going to have to call the animal welfare.’ I’m already rolodexing the situation,” Guarnaschelli explains to People. “We tiptoe out, full-on tiptoe, and he goes, ‘It’s right around the windmill.’ So I look and he’s like, ‘Do you see it?’ And I’m like, ‘No, where’s the baby? You promised me a baby deer’.”
“And he goes, ‘There’s no deer.’ I turn, and I look and he’s on one knee. He’s like, ‘This is why I have to marry you because you just believe me every time.’ He said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and he gave me the ring.”
The ring, featuring a stunning emerald rock, is a family heirloom.
The pair have been together for four years. The professional chef and TV personality took to Instagram on Saturday, June 20, to announce the big news.

World number 1 tennis player, Novak Djokovic has shared the sweet story of how he surprised now-wife Jelena with an adorable proposal.
Novak and Jelena have known each other since childhood. They met in high school and have been together since 2005. In 2013, Djokovic went to new heights, literally, with his proposal when he took Jelena on a hot air balloon ride.
“She thought we’re going hiking or something like this but we went for a hot air balloon ride. I arranged another hot air balloon in the distance that when we were coming closer to it, it rises and released the banner sign ‘will you marry me”, Djokovic said during an interview on ‘In Depth with Graham Bensinger’.
However, the plan did not go off smoothly. The hot air balloon pilot in the other balloon was struggling to detach the proposal sign. There was also a hole in the balloon, causing it to start sinking.
“So there was a panic as the balloon started going down and she was like ‘oh my god’,” he continued.
As the balloon is sinking, the pilot manages to release the sign.
“And then the thing goes down and I’m reading it slowly because it’s letter up. I’m like what will you marry me. But I’m like its a commercial? Is he crazy at 7:00 am? Why would he want to put a commercial out? It’s not a commercial banner and he’s already down on the knee,” Jelena recalled.
Despite the hitches, the proposal was perfect because Djokovic was able to surprise his future wife.
“She keeps on telling me, she knows me so well that I can’t surprise her. But I am really glad that I managed to surprise her that time when I needed to,” Djokovic concluded.
The pair married on 10 July, 2014 and are still together. They share two children.
South African radio and TV presenter Leigh-Anne Williams is reportedly engaged to Masterchef Australia star Ben Ungermann
Australian Woman’s Day magazine claims that Williams and Ungermann have been in a secret relationship for over a year. The pair met on William’s Good Hope FM afternoon show when Ungermann came to give a cooking demonstration.
“The chemistry between the two was instant when he appeared on Leigh-Anne’s afternoon show on Good Hope FM, where she told the father of three that he was ‘very easy on the eyes’, writes Australian Woman’s Day Magazine.
It is clear that Williams is in a relationship. On 19 March, she celebrated her one-year anniversary while on vacation in Indonesia, and shared an image of a male silhouette that looks much like Bens.
Leigh-Anne also took to Instagram to wish Ben a happy birthday last month, writing, “A whole birthday boy!!! Who loves ‘KAAPSTAD’! To one of the kindest, most beautiful and caring human beings I know. Happy Birthday @ben_ungermann!!! Wishing you an amazing and blessed day! May you receive all the love that you’ve always shown those around and may you always be blessed in everything you do. Sending you birthday hugs all the way from SA. Happy Happy Happy Birthday. Show him some SA love fam❤?????”
The coronavirus pandemic may have paused nuptials over the globe, but it doesn’t stop love. Amid quarantine, Queer Eye host Karamo Brown has fallen in love with his partner all over again and decided to pop the question a second time.
Brown and fiancé Ian Jordan have been together for eight years. They first became engaged in May 2018 on Jordan’s 40th birthday and were meant to marry this year. However, their wedding had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic.
The couple have been quarantining together and throughout their time spent at home, Brown has fallen even more in love. So much so, that he proposed again on Jordan’s birthday.
In a sweet video shared to Instagram, Brown shows the special moment he went down on one knee.
“I’m Engaged… Again!” Brown captioned the video. “During this Quarantine I have fallen even deeper in love w/ my fiancé @theianjordan so on his bday / which is also our anniversary I proposed again. Our wedding has been canceled/postponed like so many other people but I still wanted to celebrate our love. I love you Sugah! ❤️❤️❤️
Some rules are meant to be broken. While tradition states that men are meant to propose to their future brides, many modern women are taking back the power and popping the question themselves.
Here are a few stars that popped the big question to their male partners:
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is no stranger to marriage. Out of her eight marriages, she popped the question once to British actor Michael Wilding.
Throughout the course of their five-year marriage, the pair had two children: Michael and Christopher. They divorced in 1957.

Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell and partner Dax Shepard would not marry until same-sex marriage was legal in the US. In 2013, the Supreme Court legalised same-sex marriage in California and Bell immediately took to Twitter to pop the question.
“.@daxshepard1 will you marry me? Xo #marriageequality #loveislove,” she tweeted.
“F*** yes!!!!!!!!!!!”, he replied excitedly.

Judge Judy
She’s a no-nonsense judge on our TV screens, so its no surprise Judy Sheindlin, more famously known as Judge Judy, would propose to her husband.
“I did propose to him,” Sheindlin told DuJour. “I said to him, ‘Where is this relationship going?’ And he tried to weasel out of it, with his, ‘Well, you know, why do we have to get married?’ Whatever. He finally capitulated. I told him to pick a date. He picked Flag Day.”

Britney Spears:
Spears randomly popped the question to baby daddy Kevin Federline while aboard a flight from Ireland to New York.
“I’d finished the European part of my tour and I was going home. I was ready to get back to the States. I was really happy. Kevin was with me, so I’d had a lot of fun on the tour,” she told People back in 2004. “We were a couple hours into the flight, and we’d been talking the whole time, stuff about life, wanting to have kids, the future and everything like that. It was an intimate conversation. And we’d always talked about how some people don’t have to get married when they’re in love. Then all of a sudden I said, ‘What if you want to get married?’ And I kind of went from there to asking him if he would marry me. I asked him… He said no because he thought it wasn’t the right way to do it,” she said.
Federline initially turned the proposal down, then asked Spears to marry him a few minutes later. The pair were married for 3 years before divorcing in 2007.

Pink
Pink had an exciting proposal up her sleeve for partner Carey Hart. Back in 2005, she asked Hart for his hand in marriage while he competed in a motorcross competition. As he entered his third lap, Pink held up a board that read “Will You Marry Me?”. When Hart failed to pull over and respond, Pink added the word “Serious!” to the bottom of the board. Finally, Hart hopped off his bike and said yes.
The pair married 6 months later and have been together ever since.

One year ago, Hollywood’s favourite couple Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez got engaged in the Bahamas. Now, Rodriguez is making a tribute to his future bride to honour their one-year engagement.
Taking to social media, Rodriguez shared a highlight reel showcasing the best moments from their relationship, including the moment he went down on one knee to pop the big question.
“One year ago on a beach in the Bahamas…. I was a nervous wreck, more nervous than my entire playing career, I got down on one knee and asked you a question… you said yes ❤️ ” the former pro baseball player wrote on Instagram. “Jennifer, every moment with you is a blessing. You are my best friend, my inspiration, an amazing mother, and a role model to all. Macha, I am so lucky to be with you. Thank you for making my life better. I can’t wait to make more memories with you. . I love you. #HappyAnniversary ❤️”
The couple plan to marry sometime this year. In a Youtube video, Lopez has spoken about her desire to have a big, traditional church wedding. Considering they share a blended family, the couple plan on involving their four kids in their big day. Lopez’s son Max will reportedly walk her down the aisle.
However, the couple are in no rush to tie the knot. Speaking to Oprah earlier this month, Lopez said, “It’s so funny because when we first got engaged, I was like, ‘Oh, we’re going to get married in a couple of months,’ ” she told Winfrey. “Like your old thinking comes right back, like all that hopeless romantic that made me get married three times.”
“I said, ‘If we’re going to be together for the rest of our lives, what is the rush?’ If that’s what we’re really going to do, if we’re really going to be partners, if we’re really going to try to build something together that we both never had or never felt like we had, which is a family with a husband and a wife, and a mother and father, and we embrace all our children. We show them it’s something that we didn’t have,” she said.
