Howard A. Stern Gets Engaged To Beth Ostrosky

Hell hath frozen over! Radio shock jock Howard A. Stern, 53, who once said he would never again marry, has finally decided to marry his long-time girlfriend, model Beth Ostrosky, 34.

Stern announced today on his Sirius Satellite Radio show that he had popped the question the evening before and that Ostrosky had said yes. Stern went on to say that he had a 5.2 carat emerald cut diamond ring designed for Ostrosky and that no wedding date had been set.

The couple has been dating since 2000. This will be the second marriage for Stern who was previously married to his college sweetheart, Alison Berns, for 22 years before filing for divorce in 2000. Stern has three daughters: Emily, 23, Debra, 19, and Ashley, 14. This will be Ostrosky’s first marriage.

Stern has long practiced Tom Leykis 101, but he hasn’t given up on the approach. Even Leykis advocates marriage if two people are compatible, and they are really in love. One has to wonder however if Valentines Day pressured Stern in his decision to propose. If that’s the case, then how’s he gonna top himself next year.
