Ceelo Green engaged

Singer Ceelo Green has got engaged to his long-time     lover Shani James. The 41-year-old rapper is set to tie the knot with his long-time lover Shani James, 38, after he secretly popped the question over a year ago while finishing up at the studio, reported People magazine.
“It was just a typical night at the studio, but then again, not so typical cause I did something extra special, out of the ordinary. I went and purchased a ring that we had seen together, maybe four or five months or so prior. “I went back and purchased the ring and I just kind of had it stashed away in some old equipment. And I said, ‘Will you reach in there and grab something for me?'” he said.
The couple, known for being notoriously tight-lipped on their private life, haven’t shared their happy news until now because they want to keep their romance “sacred.” “Truth be told, it’s not something we wanted to promote. We’re a collective power together because our private life is sacred.
“But you know what though, maybe it’s time. Maybe it is time for the world to know that I have a very secure situation and a loving woman supporting me the entire way,” Green said. The duo has not started planning the nuptials as of yet.  This is not the first time Green, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, has popped the question as he was previously married to Christina Johnson for five years until they divorced in 2005.
