Maria Menounos Engaged To Boyfriend Keven Undergaro After Surprise Proposal

Congratulations to Maria Menounos! The ‘E! News’ host now has a big, shiny ring to go along with her brand new cookbook. Her boyfriend of nearly 20 years, Keven Undergaro, popped the question on March 9, thanks to some help from…Howard Stern? Click for the details.

Maria Menounos, 37, didn’t know what Keven Undergaro was cooking up but her longtime boyfriend had a surprise for her that was sweeter than anything made in the kitchen. With an assist from a world famous romantic named Howard Stern, 62, Maria and Keven are now engaged!

Maria swung by to talk with Howard about her new book, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Cooking, on March 9, according to E! Online. But the conversation switched from food to romance, when Howard asked Maria if she ever thought about dating anyone else. “At the end of the day, Keven and I are partners in life,” she said, noting they’ve been together since 1998. That’s almost 20 years!

Her words must have been music to Keven’s ears because that’s when Howard brought him in to pop the question! “Are you about to propose to me?” Maria said, completely shocked to see her boyfriend. “I’m going to die. Oh my God, it felt like he was about to propose right now.” Maria’s E! News skills were on point because Keven had something very important to say!

“It was so emotional to hear you say everything, because listening to everything you said there, back when were in the green room talking about what you’ve been through, I’ve been through, too,” Keven said. “Would you make me the happiest man on earth and would you marry me?”

She said yes! Actually, she said, “Yes, yes, yes! Oh, my gosh! Of course! I can’t believe this is happening!” When Maria saw her new bling, she burst out in joy. “This is so beautiful and I hate engagement rings!” Keven had done his homework, because he worked with jewelry designer Jean Dousset to make the perfect ring, according to Us Weekly. Howard then made the event better by bringing in Maria’s parents, who were celebrating their 41-year anniversary!

Maria’s parents didn’t like exactly Keven when they started dating! “He wasn’t Greek,” Maria said, noting her folks are Greek Orthodox. “My dad was very upset, pretty much disowned me, took my education away.” Thankfully, Maria and her family have since reconciled and her father even apologized to Keven! Now, it’s on to the wedding. They better make sure to invite Howard!

Congratulations to Maria and Keven! HollywoodLifers, leave your own happy messages to the lovely couple below!

Somalia's al-Shabab killed (180 Kenyan troops) in el-Ade

At least 180 Kenyan troops were killed when al-Shabab attacked their base last month, Somalia's president has said.

Kenya's army said the number was untrue, but again refused to give its own casualty figures for the assault in the southern Somali base of el-Ade.
The Islamist militant group said it had killed about 100 Kenyan troops.
If it is confirmed that 180 troops were killed, it would be al-Shabab's deadliest assault since it was formed nearly a decade ago.
Its previous most deadly attack was the killing of 148 people in the day-long assault on Garissa University College in north-eastern Kenya last April.
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud gave the death toll of 180 in an interview with a Somali television station, while defending his attendance at a memorial for the soldiers in Kenya.

Some Somalis accused him on social media of showing greater concern for the killing of Kenyans than his own nationals.
President Mohamud said it was important to pay tribute to the troops killed in el-Ade, which is in Somalia's south-western region of Gedo.

"When 180 or close to 200 soldiers who were sent to us are killed in one day in Somalia, it's not easy," he told Somali Cable TV.
"The soldiers have been sent to Somalia to help us get peace in our country, and their families are convinced that they died while on duty," he added.
Kenyan army spokesman David Obonyo said the Somali president's information was untrue.
"Ask the source of the information to clarify it. Maybe he knows his sources," he said.
"Secondly, we should stop trivializing the dead. They are not mere statistics,. They ought to be treated with honour and respect," Col Onyo added.
Mr Mohamud's figure is similar to that a community leader in el-Ade gave to the BBC Somali service after the attack.
He had counted about 190 bodies, he said.
After the attack, Kenya said the bombs used by al-Shabab were three times more powerful than those used by al-Qaeda in the 1998 US embassy attack in the capital, Nairobi, which left 224 people dead.
Kenya has about 4,000 troops in the 22,000-strong African Union force battling al-Shabab, which is part of al-Qaeda, in Somalia.
