After almost five years of dating, the lovebirds excitedly announced that they got engaged in July 2022.

She then talked about her statement ring from Brilliant Earth, adding: “SO in love with my ring, it’s more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.”
Shortly before the big engagement, Martinez revealed that Grayston had previously proposed to her in the past, but admitted she turned him down.
During a TikTok video shared last year, per People, the personality stated, “My boyfriend and I only got pregnant three months after dating in 2018. So we hardly knew each other. The whole pregnancy was very difficult and really not fun.’
She added, “We were both very angry with each other for a number of reasons. Our daughter Ruth was born on February 2, 2019.’
“And immediately when she was born, a lot of our stress, anxiety and resentment that we had experienced during the pregnancy disappeared. And I felt like, this is the first time we really had the chance to fall in love with each other.”
When Leonard proposed on Valentine’s Day, Bekah remembers him saying, “This is so sweet, but now is just not the time.” I’m still super hormonal. I’m in the middle of postpartum.’

Martinez later added, “We’ve worked out a lot in couples therapy and now I feel ready to say yes. So we’ll see what happens. I foresee a proposal sometime in the near future…” and explained that Grayston was “fine” with it at the time of the rejection.
