Journey's Neal Schon celebrates his engagement to Real Housewife Michaele Salahi... with a 12 carat diamond ring

It was just a year ago that Real Housewives of DC star Tareq Salahi reported his wife Michaele missing and kidnapped.
It soon emerged that the now 47-year-old blonde had run off with her 'friend' of many years, guitarist from the rock band Journey Neal Schon.
And now he has made their love official -  presenting her with an 11.42 carat diamond ring.
The sparkler, which cost him more than $1million, is rather impractical - Schon had it transported in a private armoured vehicle.

Schon, 58, proposed to his girlfriend of a year while playing at a benefit concert in Los Angeles.

TMZ is reporting that Schon's band was playing for the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center on Sunday Night, when he called Michaele up on stage and popped the question.
Salahi broke down in tears and jumped up and down as the band played their song Faithful, according to the website's sources.
The proposal was apparently a complete surprise to Salahi, who became officially divorced from Tareq back in August. 
Neal and Michaele first met in the Nineties, and are said to have dated during that period.

The Salahis gained national attention in November 2009 by crashing a White House state dinner in honor of India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
In 2010, the couple were featured in the Bravo reality television show The Real Housewives of D.C.
The couple clashed with other featured cast members, and the conflicts continued after the show aired.
The production was not flattering to the Salahis, and included coverage of the White House gate crashing fiasco in detail.
Schon, meanwhile, has five children from four failed marriages, his most recent to Amber Kozan, who was married to the rocker for seven years before they divorced in 2008
