‘What was even funnier. When he did propose, he was like well you ruined it by like seeing the balloons first. But actually you ruined it because I found the ring over a month ago. I actually had two pictures of the ring…’ she began explaining.
‘In his burner phone. He had a burner phone for work. He said it was our burner phone like as a family and I needed it for something and I wanted to take a picture of something so I took the picture and went to the gallery to get that picture and there was three: The picture I took and two of my ring. Yeah, he’ll never cheat on me successfully,’ Gabourey joked.
