CNBC’s Regan engaged on the air

Julia LaRoche of Business Insider reports that CNBC reporter Courtney Reagan was engaged earlier this month while taping an episode of “Nightly Business Report.”

LaRoche writes, “The segment was about luxury jewelry, particularly engagement rings. It was taped on November 1.

“The show’s host Tyler Mathisen kept on referring to middle-level jeweler Jared when Reagan’s boyfriend Jared Baker walked on the set.

“Reagan immediately started crying as he began to propose.

“‘It’s been a long time. Seven years… I love you so much. I have since the day I met you. I’ve always known you were the one. I love your smile. I love your laugh. I even love the way you dance. Will you marry me?’

“She said, ‘Yes!’

“And then they kissed.”
