Patti Stanger Is Not Engaged ... Yet

Originally posted 03/20/2013 10:00AM

It's a match ... but not yet an engagement.

Patti Stanger and her beau, mortgage banker David Krause, appeared on Good Morning America Wednesday, and were asked by host Lara Spencer about reports they are engaged.

"We're not engaged yet," the star of Millionaire Matchmaker, 51, said. "But maybe watch the finale and you'll see something."

However, Stanger is sporting new jewelry: "I have a promise ring," she said on GMA, telling PEOPLE later in an exclusive statement from her rep, "A promise ring to me means a commitment. However, at the same time I have the freedom to take my time to consider marriage."

It's official: RIP Jelena. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are no more, and I have to say I saw this one coming. They're both talented young people with bright and glossy futures ahead of them but, like most, I'm doubtful of young love panning out in the long run.

Here's what I think about the Bieber and Selena breakup blues:

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel officially tied the knot last week in Italy, and I couldn't be happier for them.

These two are the real deal when it comes to love, and I'm pretty confident that their union is going to far surpass the average Hollywood marriage shelf life.

Here are the three reasons I believe they're a great match and have a marriage that will last:

While the official word is that Chris Brown and Rihanna are just friends, some would say that paparazzi pictures point to a more-than-friends situation.

Are the two singers baby-stepping their way back together? It's not clear. But if they are headed for relationship round two, my advice is to keep things as private as possible.

Though most women would tell Rihanna to run for the hills, her heart may be pulling her in the other direction – and that's a powerful organ to ignore.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher look like a happy couple and, per recent pics, also seem to be happily fused at the lips.

They met more than 14 years ago on the set of That '70s Show, but they've only been romantically linked since April. They were friends first, which is great, and the timing was in favor for them to connect.

I love Demi Moore (I'm not choosing sides!) ... But I also love stories like this and can't resist a chance to comment on how to spark a new love after reconnecting with someone from your past.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are now married, and I, for one, couldn't be happier. Florence Welch sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" at the nuptials, and I can't think of anything dreamier.

In a way, I feel like I owe Blake and Ryan a big thank-you for stepping in and clearing up my power-couple breakup blues. I've been incredibly bummed about Heidi Klum and Seal's split, and the news of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett's separation earlier this month was another heartbreaker. I needed a new super couple to turn my frown upside down, and Blake and Ryan couldn't be more super. Here's why I think this couple is so amazing:

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett have decided to end their marriage after nine years. I know. I'm sighing, too. They were funny, so affectionate and both of them are just downright cute. I think all of America had a raging couple crush on these two and we're all hurting with them. Ben and Jerry's, order for 300 million, please!

Vanessa Hudgens Takes Her Mom and Sister for Mani-Pedis

Staying loyal to her favorite nail chain to get polished, Vanessa Hudgens came into Nail Garden's Burbank location over the weekend, venturing from her usual Studio City, Calif., location.

Popping into the spot with her mom Gina, younger sister Stella, and an unidentified friend, the group spent the day getting their hands and feet pampered.

"They got mani-pedi spa treatments," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "Vanessa and her pal chatted amongst themselves."

When it came to selecting a nail color, Hudgens and her little sis opted to go matchy-matchy with an orange shade, while her mom went with a gel manicure.
