“I feel in my soul that I have my happily ever after,” she said. “And I’m so grateful now for those past relationships that have led me to Allan.”

And he said my name and I got up or whatever and he got down on one knee and then Jolie just started jumping up and down, it was the cutest thing ever, it was like she knew what was happening.”
