R&B singer Cee Lo Green announces his engagement to Shani James…
Cee Lo tells People Mag he and longtime girlfriend Shani James have been engaged for over a year but felt it was time to bring their secret out into the open because,
"Truth be told, it's not something we wanted to promote. We're a collective power together because our private life is sacred. But you know what though, maybe it's time. Maybe it is time for the world to know that I have a very secure situation and a loving woman supporting me the entire way."
"I appreciate her openness and willingness to love unconditionally. She's been so sweet to me through a number of different trials that come to test the resilience of a union to deem whether it's worthy or not, whether it's durable or strong enough."This will be Cee Lo's second marriage.
