Bret Michaels, 47, has never been the marrying type -- he's never even been engaged. So now that he's proposed to Kristi Gibson, his on-and-off girlfriend of 16 years, is the rocker getting cold feet? Nope -- he's flat-out thrilled.
"It feels awesome," Michaels told People after popping the question on the finale of his VH1 reality series Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It. "(The proposal) was as real and sincere as it gets, and I feel absolutely great." Life As I Know It chronicled a few months in the home life of Michaels, Gibson, and their adorable daughters Raine (10) and Jorja (5). The whole show seemed to be building up to a proposal on the couple's anniversary, but Michaels couldn't bring himself to do it at the picture-perfect moment. "I wasn't ready there because I felt really strange," he says of their anniversary dinner date. "It would've been like, I'm in the middle of proposing and oh, by the way, there's a Cobb salad coming." Instead, the somewhat hesitant proposal came weeks later, while the couple discussed the status of their relationship on a sofa in their Arizona house. (Watch the video below!)
"In my mind, it wasn't supposed to happen like that," Michaels admits. "I wanted it to be a little more like the movies, where the white horse gallops up and all that stuff. But when Kristi said, 'I don't need this ring, I don't need the piece of paper, I love you no matter what,' she took the pressure off. She used reverse psychology on me and it worked!"
