The reality TV star, Bret Michaels, is now engaged as he proposed to his girlfriend of 16 years, Kristi Gibson on the finale of his reality TV show “Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It.”. The bandana-wearing rocker dropped down to one-knee as he asked his 39-year-old girlfriend to marry him because she has been a big part of his life and that they have love and respect for each other. He felt now is the right time to propose because his girlfriend has been through a lot with him, and deserves a lot. Maybe now, Michaels can drop down his bandana just for the wedding to give way for Gibson's wedding veil.
