“I like to think that I’m pretty good at knowing what Lindsay likes, but I did have some help fromNicole Rose, who is an incredible jewelerand good friend of Lindsay’s,” Radke said. “I had picked up on a couple of things Lindsay liked and Nicole helped me narrow it down to a few stones, sent me design ideas, and created this beautiful ring.”
He continued, “I’m really happy with how it turned out,” Radke adds. “She means everything to me, and I wanted it to be something that was reflective of my love for her and how excited I am to take the next step.”

Theyconfirmed their relationship to the publicin January, though their status as an official couple was news to Hubbard.
“I found out we were boyfriend and girlfriend when he went onWatch What Happens Livein January,” she recalled to PEOPLE in May. “We hadn’t even had that conversation together yet, but I think we both knew how serious we felt about one another that neither of us really needed to discuss it. We were both on the same page.”
“That’s when it all became real to me,” Hubbard said. “Until that point, I was like, ‘Is this happening right now?’ But when I saw my parents and some of my best friends who don’t even live in New York who had flown in, I knew it wasn’t just a dream. And I just lost it. I lost it. I started hysterically crying.”
