## Transcript

Haylie Duff is engaged. The 29 year old actress slash singer turned a lifestyle guru announced the news on her blog, The Real Girl's Kitchen, Thursday. Matt just took me by total surprise and proposed on April Fool's Day of all days. The moment was genuine and sweet, like him, and I couldn't wait to say yes. We are so excited and happy to share our wonderful news with everyone. Matt, would be Matt Rosenberg, Haylie's beau of more than a year. He's an entrepreneur who owns apparel line Subway Tile Shirts. Haley took to Instagram after the announcement to show off her diamond sparkler. And the engagement caps off what's been a banner year for the star.

Haylie released her first cookbook named after her blog last fall and launched an online cooking series of the same name at the same time. Cooking Channel announced it was turning the web series into a real TV show just days before Haylie's engagement. So on top of planning ten episodes of her new show, Haylie gets to plan a wedding. Congrats to the happy couple. Thanks for watching, I'm Brice Sander.
