Gretchen Rossi & Slade Smiley: 'RHOC' Star Praised Her Longtime Partner On Instagram [VIDEO]
Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley are currently spending time together in South Florida and during their trip, the Real Housewives of Orange County star took to Instagram to post a series of photos of herself and her fiancé.
In addition to her photos, which were taken at the Turnberry Isle Resort & Country Club, Rossi shared a sweet message to Smiley, who she became engaged to during the eighth season of the Bravo reality series.
"Waking up to my best friend every day is such a blessing," she wrote. "Thank you @sladesmiley for being there every step of the way...helping make my dreams come true #grateful #GetGlamwithGretchen."
While Rossi and Smiley have been engaged for several years, they aren't ready to tie the knot.
Although at the end of last year, Rossi admitted that her wedding plans were on hold three years after her on-air proposal.
"Really, the thing that ultimately held us back from pulling the trigger is the fact that Slade and I don't do anything really small; we kind of do things over-the-top and a little snazzy. Right now, our focus is really on trying to have a baby of our own, and our money and our stuff is going towards that and towards his son," she told People magazine. "Until we kind of get some of those things figured out, I think it doesn't feel right to spend $200,000 on a wedding right this minute. I think that's why we're at that place."
Although Rossi left the Bravo show after season eight, she will be seen in the upcoming season as a guest-starring role.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 12 premieres on Monday, July 10 at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.
