Bret Michaels proposed to Kristi Gibson on Monday night’s finale of his latest reality show Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It on VH1, after being in an on-and-off relationship together for 16 years.
“I want you to know that I love you, and you’ve been unbelievably a big part of my life, and we have two beautiful girls together,” Michaels said on the show as quoted in Toronto Sun. “I know we love and respect each other, and I hope we can find that inner love that we can have forever. I want you to be my wife.”
“Please say yes or the rejection will kill me right now,” he joked, getting down on one knee.
Gibson smiled and accepted his proposal as he slid a ring on her finger.
“I thought this day would never come, and he doesn’t realize how happy he’s just made me,” Gibson said later.
Michaels, the 47-year-old rocker, and Gibson, 39, have two daughters—10-year-old Raine and 5-year-old Jorja.
Gibson and their daughters stayed by Michaels’s side earlier this year when he suffered a number of health setbacks, including an appendectomy, a brain hemorrhage, and mild stroke, according to Us Weekly.
He is having an operation in January 2011 to repair a hole in his heart.
