The ABC News correspondent revealed to Ripa and Consuelos on Feb. 21 that “there was some misdirection involved” in order to ensure that Amanda was surprised. He revealed that he disguised his proposal as “a charity event in Manhattan.”
“We walk in — and I’d pre-set it with roses and [a] cellist and a photographer — and we walk in and she’s like, ‘Oh, it’s beautiful!’ And Amanda starts taking video of the event because she’s an event planner, so she’s getting inspiration,” he continued. “And I go, ‘You’re going to have to put your phone down now.’ And she goes, ‘Oh my god!,’ and then she knew what was happening.”
He said their families had been waiting “upstairs” at an “art gallery” to hear the news once the engagement was successfully completed. Reeve told PEOPLE that the night was “the happiest night of our lives and we can’t wait to spend forever together."
According toHello! Magazine, the two went public with their relationship in April 2023 and had previously sparked rumors of engagement.
