On Monday, the 32-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley revealed she is engaged to boyfriend Ryan Gleason.
“So I was completely taken off-guard, dumbstruck, and shell-shocked- and FOR ONCE in my life, I had absolutely no words, and I couldn’t speak… I just kept staring at this ridiculously exquisite ring- and he was just hysterically laughing at me!!!” Joel posted New Year’s Day on Instagram.

“He said to me: ‘Before I met you, my world was in black and white. You colored it in between the lines.’ It was the most beautiful thing anybody’s ever said to me. How could I possibly say no to that?!?!” the singer-songwriter wrote on social media, while Gleason called himself the “Luckiest guy in the world!!!!”
Brinkley has already volunteered to help plan the nuptials.

“Under the largest moon on the year, my little Moonbeam got engaged, and I am over the moon with joy for these two!” Brinkley wrote. “Ryan is the sweetest, kindest, hard working man who sincerely loves and adores my precious Alexa Ray so I love him too and while we have always thought of him as family soon he really will be! What a beautiful way for our family to start the New Year…. Celebrating their L❤️VE !!!”
