Joe Budden and his longtime girlfriend, Shadée Monique, are officially engaged and expecting their first child.
The revered podcaster popped the question while celebrating his 46th birthday on Saturday night, August 30. At one point during the private, black-tie affair, Budden got down on one knee, surprised Shadée with a massive diamond ring, and asked, "We doin' it or what?"
"Of course we are," she exclaimed. After the crowd settled down, Budden's partner of seven years made an announcement of her own.
"We have a little surprise," she said. "Yeah, Joe's going to be a girl dad."
