Meanwhile, Keven popped the question shortly after Maria's interview on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show Wednesdsay. The New York Times bestseller has been in the middle of a book tour for her third book, The EveryGirl's Guide to Cooking (which was released Tuesday).

"Literally like the last 17 or 18 years of us fighting [to be] together, and me defending her as best I could...It reminds me just how much I do love you, and although I said that this isn't a proposal, I want to ask you something," he said. "Would you make me the happiest man on earth and would you marry me?"

Maria was taken aback. "Are you friggin' kidding me right now?" she asked. "Is this a joke?"

"It's not a joke," Keven assured her. "This I wouldn't joke about. I love you so much and this show's meant so much to both of us...Why not make it official now? Will you honey? Will you accept?"

Of course, she said yes!
