He popped the question! After five years of dating,\u00a0Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/strong>\u00a0star\u00a0Dolores Catania<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Paulie Connell<\/strong>\u00a0are engaged. He got down on one knee and presented her with an 11-carat engagement ring. It all happened in a pretty unusual location, but it was very on-brand for this happy couple.<\/p>\n Like true reality stars, Dolores and Paulie announced the news of their engagement via a\u00a0People\u00a0exclusive, but the whole thing came as a complete shocker. Paul brought Dolo to an Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. A potential proposal didn\u2019t even cross her mind.<\/p>\n \u201cOh, I had not a clue at all. In fact, I thought I was going to have to call an ambulance for him!\u201d Dolores teased.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cHe was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red. And you know how people say weird things when they\u2019re having a stroke? He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere, and I was like, \u2018Paul, are you okay?\u2019 And then I realized he was proposing.\u201d<\/p>\n As strange as it sounds for a proposal to happen inside an Apple Store, this is the exact place where Paul and Dolores\u00a0met five years ago. Romantic, right? Paul told the outlet why he chose to lean into the sentimental setting, rather than\u00a0doing something grandiose.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t want anything over-the-top and staged because we\u2019re a humble couple. I wanted it to feel grounded and natural and organic. Plus, I wanted the element of surprise. And believe me, I had the element of surprise,\u201d Paul explained.<\/p>\n Dolores \u201cimmediately said yes\u201d to the 11-carat ring, lined with\u00a0princess cut diamonds. When\u00a0they got home, 1,000 roses were there waiting for her. Paulie hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m ecstatic!\u201d Dolores said of the engagement. \u201cYou know when you feel that happiness down in your gut? That\u2019s where this excitement stems from for me. I feel so blessed, I almost feel guilty! Like, I don\u2019t deserve to be loved this way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cReal Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d alum\u00a0Teddi Mellencamp\u00a0is courageously sharing updates with fans about her health and how she\u2019s feeling during her ongoing battle with cancer.<\/p>\n Teddi took to her Instagram story where she held a\u00a0Q&A session for her fans.<\/p>\n During the Q&A, she opened up about her struggles with immunotherapy, admitting that her energy levels go up and down all the time. \u201cSome days are definitely better than others,\u201d Teddi wrote. \u201cAnd you don\u2019t see all the times I\u2019m laying in bed unable to do much.

Wow! \u201d and called Teddi a fighter.<\/p>\n Shannon Storms Beador\u00a0of \u201cRHOC\u201d commented, \u201cAmazing news!!! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n Lisa Hochstein\u00a0from \u201cRHOM\u201d joined in with a series of emojis, \u201c<\/p>\n The housewife is inspiring her fans by remaining honest about the days where she\u2019s struggling.
