He's Paige's ‘friend.’ Not her friend, mind you,” she teased in the captions of a photo featuring the future engaged couple. “Her ‘friend.’ I won't go into detail because that's Paige's place to do...but the smile on her face might give you some idea of how Paige feels about her new friend. I mean ‘friend.’ I mean, I'm going to stop writing this caption now!” “David was only able to stay for the first three days, so on his last day, I went out to breakfast with him and Paige,” she went on to share. Ree Drummond was in on the secret to keep daughter Paige's engagement a wonderful surprise / Instagram Drummond was also all too thrilled to share the engagement news online. “I am so relieved I can finally share this news because the stress was getting to me,” Ree admitted at last on her website. “I have kept it a secret (from Paige, but also from like, everyone else on the planet) for about six weeks, and I can finally exhale. Paige and her boyfriend, David, got engaged tonight!” She further revealed, “The scheming we did with David, our clandestine travel to Dallas, and the outright lies and deception we all had to throw way over the past couple of weeks to make sure she didn't grow suspicious. It was cops and robbers, it was cloak and dagger, it was an epic action adventure movie!” “For now, I just want to say this: We are so happy!” Drummond concluded, “Paige and David are such a great match, a terrific team! Paige is my strong, mighty, wonderful daughter and the fact that she found a person she wants to spend her life with is a pretty indescribable feeling.” The blogger and Food Network chef shares updates on family life through her website / Wikimedia Commons RELATED: Ree Drummond Says ‘No’ To Day School—Why She Homeschools Her Kids Instead
