Perri said "yes" to Costabile on June 21 after nearly four years of dating. She shared a picture of her engagement ring at the time, writing, "paul asked me to marry him tonight & i said yes!"

"I knew I wanted to ask this girl to marry me the day she walked into the green screen for an interview almost 4 years ago," Costabile, a television host and producer, added. "I finally asked her right here tonight and she said yes!!!"
