Simmons’ engagement was caught on his reality TV show.
The rockstar told his now-wife: “I come with so much baggage, but you’re the only friend I’ve got. You’re the only one I love … and you’re the only one I ever will love.
“I’ve never said those words to anybody. And I don’t ever want to … funny, I used to watch movies where they say I can’t live without you, but for me it’s true.”
