“Neither of us was a crazy romantic type, so I just asked and nothing was planned.”
“He was sitting there eating a pizza, cracking a joke that Shia Labeouf had said in one of her interviews, and he was pretending to be her, explaining this joke to me,” she continued, “For some reason, I cut him off and asked, “Wanna marry me?”
Cole suddenly chimed in and said, “You married Shia Labeouf.”
“Maybe that landed us in the mood and yeah, we are engaged now, ” she said after giggling at what Cole said earlier.
