Kelly Rowland confirms engagement
Kelly Rowland has confirmed her engagement to boyfriend Tim Witherspoon.
The former Destiny's Child singer sparked speculation she was set to marry her longtime manager last month (Nov13), when she showed off a diamond ring on her wedding finger during an online video.
And in an interview with Queen Latifah on her talk show, due to air
on Wednesday (18Dec13), Rowland exclaimed, "He put a ring on it!",
before holding up her hand for the audience to see.
The 32-year-old admitted that she had worked hard to keep her
romance out of the spotlight from the beginning, adding, "It's been
a while. We've kept it very, very low - for years, to be completely
honest."
Rowland also revealed the proposal had been less than traditional:
"He asked me first on Skype and I was like, 'We're so far away from
each other.' But it was so late, I remember we were both just kinda
like, honestly, just staring at each other. And he asked me, and it
was just that simple to say yes. I was like, 'I got my best friend
to ride through life with.' He really is my best friend."
It's the second engagement for Rowland - she accepted football
player Roy Williams' proposal in 2004 before calling off their
plans to wed the following year (05).
