His now fiancé the gorgeous, Kayla Rae Reid said, “Speechless. Absolutely beautiful.So in love with YOU.”
This comes at no major surprise since the couple has been inseparable during Ryan’s competition on DWTS.
It seems that Ryan’s Olympics scandal has only helped bring them closer together.
“My family says, ‘Don’t you think it’s a little too soon?’ I’m like, ‘Can you put a time on love? Can you?’” Ryan recently shared with USA TODAY Sports. “When I realized this was ‘the one’ was when she stuck behind me through this. She still loves me and she’s still right there with me.”
The couple met at a nightclub in LA in January 2016 and Ryan has been very vocal about his love for her.
“From the very first time I met her, everything has like clicked,” Ryan shared. “That’s why I know I can propose to her because everything that’s happened and she’s been keeping me so positive. She doesn’t care about my fame. She doesn’t care about anything. All she cares about is me being happy.”
Congrats to the beautiful couple!
