THIS ‘Bling Empire’ Couple Just Got Engaged!

Jessey Lee and Cherie Chan are bound to have a Blinged-out wedding!
On Tuesday, People broke the news that the “Bling Empire” stars got engaged at the Jacquemart-André Museum in Paris, France.
However, Lee admits that prior to his proposal, the two were running late throughout the day. Fortunately, the special moment went off without a hitch!
After he arranged for the museum to be closed to the public, Lee got down on one knee in front of a special painting he commissioned of the couple along with the words, “Will You Marry Me?”
“I’ve wanted to propose to Cherie on multiple occasions, first time was in Maldives, but Cherie was extremely pregnant and I wanted to do nothing but take care of her,” he told the magazine. The couple share two children: J’adore, 5, and Jevon, 2.
“The second time I had planned a family trip to propose to Cherie under the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, but her mom was really ill, so I postponed the whole engagement.”
As seen on Season 1 of their hit Netflix show, the two previously got engaged when Chan, a denim heiress and businesswoman, proposed to Lee, who works for his family’s furniture business.
“Although Cherie had proposed to me, I’m glad I got to propose to her now. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but the timing wasn’t right,” he admitted.
While recalling the beautiful day, Chan admits that she was totally “shocked” by Lee’s proposal!
“I was very, very shocked. I thought we were just doing a private tour, but Jessey shutdown the whole museum for me,” she told People. “And the special painting is something that I’ll always hold dear to my heart.”
Now that they’re engaged, Chan said she and her fiancé are excited to start planning their wedding.
“We finally feel engaged,” Chan exclaimed, adding, “Thank you for everyone’s support.”
Though they won’t return for Season 2, Chan is grateful for her reality TV experience and the positive reaction the show received.
“I can’t believe I have fans!” Chan told The Sun in February. “It’s tough. As a mom I’m really worried about the kids. It’s stressful being a mom. It’s great, but it comes with a lot of mom wanting to protect her child. I had no idea it was going to be this big!”
Congratulations to Jessey and Cherie on your big news!
