Congratulations to Season 9 Idol winner Lee DeWyze and fiance Joanna Walsh. People.com is reporting that the couple got engaged July 16.
"I'm excited," says DeWyze, who popped the question July 16 over champagne on a private yacht under a fireworks-filled sky at Disney World in Orlando. The couple are planning to wed in the fall of 2012.
DeWyze met Walsh, 26, last October while shooting a video for his single "Sweet Serendipity." "We were casting and I saw her and said, 'Let's go with her.' I thought she was cute."
"We hung out and we went to a Lakers game on our first date. She's a Lakers fan and I'm a Chicago Bulls fan and we just clicked out of the gate." As for Walsh supporting another team, "We're seeing a counselor about that," he joked.
"We do all kinds of stuff together," the singer says of life in Southern California with his fiance. "We go to plays and exhibits and Jonna is really into the planning for the wedding."
Though they have been dating for only eight months, DeWyze had no hesitation before popping the question. "When you know, you know," he says. "We both feel that way. We don't need to be together 20 years before we figure it out."
Lee performed his single "Beautiful Like You" on Idol in March. Before the show, we had the chance to catch up with the former winner. Watch the video now.
