"Will you marry me?" the 46 years old singer asked his girlfriend while presenting her with a ring. "Yes," replied Olivia, and the song perfectly rolled into the following line of the song, "let's get married." White scooped his fiance in his arms, carried her offstage, and returned quickly to announce, "It's been such a great day; mind if we get married right now?" Jean is a member of the rock band Black Belles, which is currently on hiatus and performs as a solo artist.
