Steven Fenton proposed to Leeza Gibbons back in June, but they have kept it under wraps until now.  He popped the question in the front yard of their new house, just before they moved in,

“He was on one knee and I was on Cloud 9!” Gibbons says. “I have a ring but we decided that I won’t wear it until we have a private exchange of vows.  In the beginning, the age thing tripped me up for a minute,” she says. “I believe in love and I always held onto the belief that I would find it again but I didn’t think it would come in the form of Steven.”

They met on a blind date two years ago and they’ve got a 13 year age difference between them.  What does Steven do for a living?  Why he’s the President of the Beverly Hills Board of Education, sounds like fun!

They aren’t in a rush to set a date,

“We’ll know when the time is right … Steven knew he wasn’t just marrying me, he was marrying into a family that included my kids,” says Gibbons, who has three children from two previous marriages. “Our energy is the same and we connect through our desire to love our families and friends, serve our communities and make a difference.”

That’s really sweet…. but, maybe they should just skip the vows and keep things as they are.  I mean, three times down the aisle?  I think that’s too much.  But hey, the saying, ‘third times the charm’ didn’t come from no where.

Congrats to Leeza and Steven, best of luck!
