Michelle shared details of Chad’s Pebble Beach, CA, proposal to US Weekly. “He presented me a video of him flying to my hometown of Rockford, Illinois, and going on a proposal tour,” she explained. “He went to a few of my family members that are really, really dear to me, and of course my parents. I’m a traditional girl, so if he didn’t ask my parents first, I probably would have said no! After the video ended, he was on one knee and he asked me to marry him. I was wailing, ‘I will, I will, I will!’”
Michelle and Chad, who is a life coach for sports teams and also a pastor, met in March 2017 when she attended a spiritual retreat he was running. ‘I was in a horrible dark place I just needed to go somewhere where I could get a message of hope and restoration, rejuvenation — get connected to God,” she told People.
It’s not the first time they’ve called it quits. Michelle broke off the engagement twice in the weeks following that emotional proposal. She then sought treatment for depression and the two stayed together.
