Chef Michael is no more single. The handsome and talented chef is engaged to Alex Guarnaschelli. His fiancé took it to Twitter to show off her beautiful emerald ring. According to sources, Alex went down on his knees at her birthday celebration. His idea to propose to her was pretty amazing as he outlined a story about seeing a deer get Alex out of her car.
Further, when she said that there were no deer, he kneeled down and said, “There’s no deer, and this is why I have to marry you because you just believe me every time.” Isn’t that a cute way to propose to someone? There is no reliable information on when they met but coming back from the same working field, they must have encountered each other during their work.
In fact, they had been dating for four years but had kept their relationship entirely confidential. Furthermore, in an interview with People, his fiancée mentioned that they are in no hurry to get married. So far, from what we have seen, the couple seems to be happy and content with each other, whether they’re married or not.
