Micheal confessed to the publication saying, “when Turia was in intensive care four years ago I bought a diamond ring.”
On her engagement, Turia said, “i’m so overwhelmed with love at the moment.”
Turia, who works as a humanitarian, shared a picture of herself with Michael writing: “Stoked to have this beautiful man in my life! You bring out the best in me and I can’t wait for the rest of our lives together.”
