"She’s absolutely devastated,” her spokeswoman Priscilla Clarke told The New York Daily News. “They were planning to get married and start a family.”
Michael and Omarosa met in the produce section at Whole Foods and dated for two years before secretly becoming engaged. The duo hid their upcoming winter nuptials from the media and instead opted for a low-key, under-the-radar engagement.
After suffering a particularly brutal heart attack on July 13, Michael struggled to regain his health and the former Apprentice star did everything in her power to get her fiancé back on his feet.
