Christine Brown's proposal comes two months after she debuted her boyfriend David Woolley on social media and to her loyal fans, who have been part of her journey for over a decade. She went public with her relationship on Valentine's Day as an ode to the new love in her life.
Posting several snapshots of the couple, the Sister Wives star said:
"I finally found the love of my life, David. The first time he held me close, it felt like my soul took it's first breath. He's wonderful and kind, incredible with my children and an adorable grandpa. I never dreamed I could find a love like this."
Since then, the couple have frequently been seen on Christine's Instagram posts. They were seen posting videos of them spending quality time with each other on outings, vacations, and with family, especially her grandchildren.
A few weeks ago, Christine also posted a picture with David and noted how "blessed" she was to have him in his life. She also called him her "soulmate." In March 2023, the couple spent a peaceful weekend in Utah, following which the Sister Wives star shared a glimpse of the couple with her fans.
She said:
"Life is short, why not take a wonderful weekend getaway for some fun new adventures. I love having a partner to go on these fun new adventures with. We could not get enough of the gorgeous views. Utah is a beautiful place, there are so many secrets to explore."
According to PEOPLE's report, shortly after sharing the news of her engagement, Christine spent the weekend with her boyfriend and daughter Truely. They visited Universal Studios in California, among many other locations. She also shared clips of the same on her Instagram stories.
The TLC star said:
"Making memories and going through adventures have always been precious to me. I've been blessed enough with the ability and time to make these core memories with my kids. Adventuring with @david__woolley and Truely in California @unistudios this weekend has been wonderful."

Kody's spiritual relationship with Janelle and Meri Brown has also come to an end. He is married to Robyn Brown, whom he wed in 2014.
