Queer Eye's Karamo Brown Proposes to Fiancé Ian Jordan (Again!)

In the age of sequel weddings, double proposals are also shining. Queer Eye's Karamo Brown, one of the five leading stars of the Netflix reboot of the series, is most certainly feeling the love these days while social distancing at home. Brown proposed (yet again!) this week to fiancé Ian Jordan, two years after he first popped the question on his partner's 40th birthday.

On Jordan's 42nd birthday, Brown dropped to one knee—this time within their home amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm Engaged... Again!" Brown expressed on Instagram. "During this Quarantine I have fallen even deeper in love w/ my fiancé @theianjordan so on his bday / which is also our anniversary I proposed again. Our wedding has been canceled/postponed like so many other people but I still wanted to celebrate our love. I love you Sugah!"

An accompanying video clip shows Brown and Jordan, clad appropriately in a birthday crown, celebrating the occasion in their kitchen. "Ian, I love you very much and after this quarantine, I realized how much I love you," Brown says to his partner. "We were supposed to be getting married and that was canceled because of Corona, and you lost your engagement ring." He then drops to one knee while Jordan, who's shocked, kisses him in response.

The couple's original wedding plans were to marry on a very specific date of this year. "It's 10/10/20, and we're doing it that far off because hopefully we have more seasons of Queer Eye, so… you know, we've got to plan around that," Brown told The Knot in 2018. "I'm in full planning mode, because when I was a boy and I was 7, I was already planning my wedding. I knew it wasn't legal at the time. But in my mind, I had faith in our country that one day, my love would be recognized. It was literally [recently] watching people like RuPaul that had me thinking, 'It has to be!'"

Yes, you can actually swap vows at Blake and Ryan's Hawaiian bungalow.

The pair wanted a multicultural, wedding weekend gathering in California. "We rented out the Merv Griffin Estate in Palm Springs," Brown previously shared with us. "It's beautiful because I want everyone to be on the estate and I want it to be a big party… We want all of our friends from college and our family—mine is overseas from Jamaica and Cuba—to be there, so we had to plan. It's not like people are down the street, and his family, they're working class people from Maine, so we want to give everyone more than enough time."

The original engagement rings were black David Yurman pieces that included black diamonds. "Back when I was a social worker and a psychotherapist, I made a regular salary, but there were certain brands where I was like, 'If I make it, I'm gonna buy this,'" the Netflix personality said in the same interview. "And this was the one."

Despite the disappointment of postponing the wedding, the pair will ultimately share an over-the-top celebration with their loved ones, especially since Brown has planned an elaborate affair. "This wedding is ridiculous," the reality star told NPR host Peter Sagal in early March. "It's actually sent my fiancé to the hospital twice already because of anxiety attacks. And I'm not saying this very proudly."

And what's a Palm Springs wedding without a Coachella-themed addition of Ferris wheels given Indio's proximity? "So the thing was that the first time when I put the deposit down for our ferris wheels …" Brown said of Jordan's first panic attack. The second anxiety attack was induced by the inclusion of animals in the nuptials. "We went to a spot here in L.A where you can get peacocks trained to show their bloom of their feathers at the same time," he noted. "So I wanted … when I say, 'I do,' for [the] peacock feathers to go up,… it's very possible to do, because peacocks can be trained, but it gives [Jordan] a lot of anxiety. I don't know why."
