Gretchen Rossi Engagement: ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Star Surprises Boyfriend Slade Smiley With Rooftop Proposal (VIDEO)

Gretchen Rossi, star of "Real Housewives of Orange County" popped the question to longtime boyfriend Slade Smiley, Radar Online reports. The two have been engaged since April but the touching proposal was filmed for this season's show.

In the clip of Monday night's episode Rossi is seen wearing a beautiful white Marilyn Monroe type dress, in a room full of people who appear to be there for the engagement party. The reality star asked her mother whether she thinks Smiley is right for her.

"You think he's the right man for the rest of my life, forever and ever and ever?" Rossi said.

She briefly opens up to her mother about being nervous and hesitant because of all her past relationships but brushed those fears aside as she heads to the rooftop to "go get her man."

Once on the roof, Rossi asks Smiley if he would marry her presenting the radio DJ with a wedding ban.

"We congratulate Gretchen and Slade on their engagement and are excited to see it play out on the show, "a Bravo spokesperson told the US Weekly.

In a May interview with Parade magazine the star said that she was extremely nervous to ask her man to marry her but the two are truly happy.

"It's been so wonderful. I had been so weary about getting engaged again because I had a lot of issues from my past marriage and past relationships. Obviously, I went through a pretty horrible time when Jeff passed, and I thought to myself: 'Maybe this just isn't the path for me. Maybe I just need to forever be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship,'" she said. "But after four years of being with Slade, I realized that he's such an amazing, wonderful person - from who he is as a father and who he is a partner... Our engagement has been a really great time. We're basking in the glow!"

The two have not set a wedding date yet.
