Overview

  • Rucker revealed the engagement on Oct. 8 in a joint Instagram post featuring a boardwalk proposal photo and a selfie showing Deahl’s ring.
  • Deahl reposted the images to her Instagram Stories, calling the relationship “sacred” and joking she is done photoshopping him out of pictures.

  • Rucker was previously married to Beth Leonard, with whom he shares two children, and he is also father to an older daughter from a prior relationship.
