Bret Michaels gets engaged

Congratulations to Poison frontman Bret Michaels and his long-term girlfriend Kristi Lynn Gibson who have just announced their engagement.

Brett popped the question earlier this month at his ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. The couple, who have been together for 16 years and have two daughters, Raine Elizabeth, 10, and Jorja Bleu, 5, are said to be "thrilled".

"Bret felt like now was the time because Kristi has been through so much with Bret and has been by his side every step of the way," a close pal told US tabloid The Star.

"They haven't set a date and no plans are in the works yet. But when Bret's tour ends they will work out the details. Bret wants to be in excellent health before he walks down the aisle."

Bret was hospitalised in April of this year after suffering brain haemorrhage, and then again the following month after suffering a stroke.
