14 Jan 2007 (Sawf News) - Self proclaimed "King of All Media" Howard Stern gave long-time girlfriend model Beth Ostroksy a diamond engagement ring last night.
Stern, 53, made the announcement of his engagement on his raunchy Sirius Radio show in his characteristic style.
"Do you want your Valentine's Day gift now?" he claimed to have asked Ostroksy. When she said yes he ordered her to strip down - despite her protests that she was too "fat" to do that.
When she said that, Stern says he thought, "Any girl who looks like that and thinks she's fat - I've got a chance with her."
Once naked, he gave her a 5.2 carat diamond ring. "I love you. You're everything to me," Stern said he told her. "This is so gay. ... I'm asking you to spend the rest of your life with me."
Stern told his listeners that he expects the engagement to be long and is unsure when they will marry.
Stern has dated model Ostrosky, 18 years his junior, since early 2000. The pair live together with their English Bulldog named Bianca Romijn-Stamos-O'Connell in his Upper West Side Manhattan apartment.
Stern was married to his first wife, Alison, for 20 years. They separated in 1999 and later divorced.
