Another Celebrity engagement sighting! (Seriously, is something in the water?)
Cage fighter Alex Reid popped the question on LIVE TV October 8th on an Irish program called, The Saturday Night Show.
He was being interviewed with his girlfriend Chantelle Houghton about their hopes of having a baby soon through IVF. Houghton found out she has three years to be able to conceive and IVF is their best option.
The program’s host, Brendan O’Connor, being the witty host he is, made a comment that Reid should take the leap and finally propose. To the audience’s surprise, Reid decided O’Connor was right. And BAM! In front of everyone, got down on one knee and asked Houghton for her hand in marriage.
According to SkyNews.com, Reid said, “We’re in Dublin, I haven’t got an engagement ring, but you know what? I’m going to do it. Seriously, nobody tell anyone! Will you marry me?”
With a giggle and a kiss, Houghton responded with a positive, “Yeah!” and now the two are happily engaged and approaching their next stage of wedded bliss.
Well, after the divorce of course. After the show, Reid tweeted: @chantellehought = future wife and queen empress goddess of my/our empire! Behind every good man is a strong powerful woman! Hail Mrs. Reid.”
Then he added a quick follow-up tweet: “gotta get divorced 1st.”
Reid is still technically married to Katie Price and is waiting for their divorce to finalize. Whoops!
What do you think? Is it weird to get engaged while still technically married?

I think if its in your heart to be engaged to another person while you are waiting for papers to finalize your divorce by all means go for it! Its a piece of paper at this point!
