"Asking Roxy if she was cool if I asked her mom to marry me was the most beautiful moment of my life," the 47-year-old told HELLO! Canada. The clip was filmed at the family's Ontario cottage, a serene oasis renovated with the help of guru Scott McGillivray.
The same clip sees Roz then propose in the most heartfelt and adorable way, surprising photographer Katherine – whom he first met at a Toronto nightclub in 2005 – by having her read aloud from a secret section of his memoir.
"If you're asking yourself right now if all this, this entire book – life and story – was my way of finding the words to ask Katherine to marry me," she says, crying with happiness in the clip, "you're not wrong."
