Engagement Is A Head Scratcher

[Blind Gossip] While news of marriage proposal is usually a happy event, this recent engagement is a bit of a head scratcher!

She is a beautiful and successful young actress.

The general consensus in the industry is that she is very, very ambitious, but a nice person and easy to work with.

That ambition may be what led her to “date” more than one famous actor. She received lots of publicity for dating these young stars.

She is now engaged to be married, although not to an actor.

Her new fiance is in the business – perhaps thanks to two famous parents – but he is a bit of an odd choice for her.

His dating history includes several famous actresses. He does not have a good reputation.

I have known him for years but I have nothing good to say about him. He is a disgusting pig. Not only is he the most vulgar and misogynistic person I’ve ever met, he has cheated on every girlfriend he’s ever had.

Uh oh. That’s not good.

We do know that his last girlfriend – a beautiful actress who achieved fame in a very popular fantasy drama series – dumped him last year when she found out he was cheating on her.

It’s hard to know what our young actress sees in him.

He is not her match in looks.

Or fame.

Or success.

Or likability.

And he definitely does not have a history of fidelity or of treating women well.

The usual rules about choosing a lifetime partner just don’t seem to apply here.

They have not been together that long. Perhaps our actress is blind to his past?

She has the engagement ring now… but it will be interesting to see if they actually make it to a wedding!
