Melissa Rivers is celebrating a latest chapter.
The Fashion Police alum revealed that she is engaged to Los Angeles attorney Steve Mitchel after almost a 12 months and a half of dating.
“It’s a giant step for each for us and I’m still in complete and total shock, even a month later, but beyond pleased,” Melissa, daughter of the late Joan Rivers, told People. “And more importantly, my mom would have approved of the ring. Oh yeah, and of Steve too!”
Melissa, 55, also shared insight into the moments leading up to the lawyer popping the query during a visit to Mexico in October, noting that “in hindsight, Steve was a wreck all day.”
“We were having dinner on the beach and there was a ship out within the water that kept turning on and off its lights,” she recalled. “I used to be totally absorbed in trying to work out why the boat was doing this and never being attentive to my surroundings. Steve told me he loved me and wanted to spend the remaining of his life with me. I told him the identical, but I wasn’t even taking a look at him.”
