Ed told News 5, “Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks ago, not quite two weeks ago. He was going to put it off till this week…he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event."

They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great."
