As revealed by People, the couple actually kept their engagement, which took place in October 2019, under wraps for a couple months. When Thore spoke to the publication in December, ahead of the new season airing, she finally able to gush, "Chase and I are so excited to officially announce our engagement and even more excited for My Big Fat Fabulous Life viewers to share this happiness with us."

Indeed, fans of the show watched Thore and Severino dodge several landmines, including her most recent romantic interest, Buddy Bell, who continued to sniff around hoping he still had a shot with the reality star (much to her new boyfriend's chagrin). Likewise, Thore's loved ones weren't convinced by Severino at first and worried she might get hurt again.

Thankfully, the desire to expand NoBs led to a romantic trip to Paris, during which Severino popped the question to a shocked and delighted Thore. Looking back on their whirlwind romance, she gushed, "It has truly been a dream."
