The proposal comes as no surprise being that back in March, the 42-year-old told Esquire that he's known the 29-year-old model and host of Bravo's Sheer Genius is The One. "I found the woman... I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together," he declared to the magazine.

    It took him five years and two kids for him to figure out she's the one?

    Why does it matter how long you have been with someone to 'finally' get engaged? Why can't people be happy? I have been with my bf for almost 5 yrs and I have NO PROBLEM with not getting engaged and will NEVER EVER say I was humiliated by the time its taken him to do it. Who cares!! As long as you are happy, THATS WHAT MATTERS. Congrats to them!!

    Funny, if she was so concerened about the time it took to get a proposal, don't you think she would have been gone a long time ago? Good for them if that's what they want to do.

    Do you mean they're?

  • December 26, 2011 - 7:52pm Jana Michel Cahill

    I am so happy for him.

  • December 26, 2011 - 6:32pm Georgia Costolo

    what the heck happened to his hair? I am glad they are engaged as they make a handsome couple and their kids are darling

  • December 26, 2011 - 6:25pm Kathleen Tandy

    At last!!!! Very, very, very, very happy for them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

  • December 26, 2011 - 6:19pm Linda Werth Crump

    Really............two children later and their just getting 'engaged'. Get a life!!!!

  • December 26, 2011 - 5:28pm Kirsten Ricard

    Wow...why are women defining their worth by whether or not someone would propose to them? I don't think Camila is humiliated at all. And if it doesn't change your life, why do you care? How about worrying about your own life?

  • December 26, 2011 - 4:48pm Kelli Aimar

    About time!!! :)

  • December 26, 2011 - 4:41pm Val Sukhenko

    I for one am thrilled for them, congrats to the obviously happy family! Their children are adorable and so are they.....happy, happy for them. And Amy, you should be ashamed posting such garbage about them!!!!!

    We aren't talking about a woman with much pride. After nearly a decade she's been cooking, cleaning and giving birth to his children, he's finally thinking about making her his wife. And she's supposed to be flattered??? I'd tell him to go stuff his "engagement" ring up his butt.
