Kellie Pickler Gets Engaged

As one of the few non-champion American Idol contestants to have a music career, Kellie Pickler’s good fortune continues—the 23-year-old country singer is now engaged to her boyfriend, songwriter Kyle Jacobs. Jacobs proposed last week in Florida during a candle-lit beach picnic at sunset on Pickler’s late grandmother’s birthday. “It turned out to be the most amazing day of my life,” the fifth-season Idol singer told People magazine. "My whole world changed. We both feel like we got my grandmother's blessing." The country queen remembers saying to Jacobs, whom she’s been with for two and half years: “Baby it's like I'm dreaming — but if this isn't real, I'm going to be very upset!”
