Continuing to speak on her podcast about the engagement, Cummings noted that she was “surprised” by her soon-to-be husband’s proposal. Ironically, they didn’t know how to celebrate in the immediate aftermath. “It’s so awkward. I was like, ‘Okay, cool. Now what?’ ” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Should we go to dinner or something?’ He [Cole] had no plan [for] afterwards.” She joked, “As soon as he got the ring on, he was like, ‘I never have to try to impress you again.’ “

The pro skateboarder suggested a celebratory dinner at Pizza Hut. “He’s never pitched Pizza Hut ever before that,” Cummings said, jokingly reacting, “I haven’t spoken to him since.” She added: “Pizza Hut’s not our thing — like, it’s not an inside joke, we’ve never talked about it before.” They went public with their romance in May.
