Newly engaged Ricki Lake has shared some surprising details of her engagement to her fiancé Ross Burningham.
The "Hairspray" star recently appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" and gushed over the experience.
"We've only known each other since the end of June," revealed Lake, 52. "It's been about six months, he was a booty call for a few months there. He's wonderful. Everyone who met him just gets it. We're great together."
The actress also said that she doesn't yet have a ring, adding it was a complete surprise when her beau popped the question.
