In 2007, they dodged engagement rumors.

"It’s totally not true!" she told W. "And his mom called me and my sisters were calling me, and I was like, ‘Are you kidding? Did you not think I would tell you first?’ And then I put out a statement that it wasn’t true, and that became a whole news story. So now it’s news when something doesn’t happen? Like, news flash: California did not get hit by a hurricane today.”

    hey recep.... bitter much? take your venom elsewhere. just because you were too ugly for your ex, doesn't mean you'll look prettier by trashing every story on this site.

    Good for her! At least she's PICKED a side and isn't admitting some sleazy orientation such as bisexuality. Contrats to America! She's so classy unlike many snotties in Hollywood.

    that's cool, that means they've been together prior to her losing a lot of her weight, which means he did not mind a little meat on her bonds
