Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley are reportedly engaged after dating for about three years. The two have been committed for a while now but Gretchen opted on waiting to tie the knot until Slade got his finances in order. Since that’s happened, there’s no holding them back from making things official. So, how did Slade propose?

Slade, who has been on Real Housewives of Orange County since Season One when he was living with Jo de la Rosa, is known to stir up some strong emotions in the ladies. For the last couple seasons, while Slade has been with Gretchen Rossi, the most common comeback from the ladies has been, “Why don’t you get a real job, Slade?”

Too bad, girls, because you just lost your favorite insult: Slade went and got himself a real job! For five hours a week anyways.

Gretchen Rossi has been talking about wanting babies for a while now, and although they have been the target of several pregnancy and engagement rumors, neither of those two things have happened yet. In fact, The Real Housewives of Orange County star can’t get pregnant because she and Slade have yet to take one very important step.

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley have been together for several years now, but for numerous reasons (as addressed onscreen on The Real Housewives of Orange County), the couple continues to balk at taking the next big step and committing to walking down the aisle together.

Real Housewives of Orange County couple Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley were out last night at a red carpet event when all h-e-double-hockey-stick broke loose. An as yet unidentified man, whom I will go ahead and label as the most aggressive bill collector this side of associates of Tony Soprano, came after Smiley hard core for money he owes in child support. In the clip dude approaches Rossi and Smiley as they’re trying to get in to their vehicle and berates Smiley over money he claims he’s been hired to collect.
