If you live in the US, you were able to watch A&E's reality show Gene Simmons Family Jewels Tuesday night. This episode was shown how KISS bass player Gene Simmons and longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed were on holiday in Belize, when Gene said to her, "you're the only friend I've got. You're the only one I love... and you're the only when I ever will love," then he got down on one knee and proposed. Shannon accepted, but it remains to be seen whether or not the couple will really walk down the aisle.

The episode of Family Jewels was taped several months ago and their relationship has hit a rough patch, if not a roadblock. Shannon, 54, has been quoted by People Magazine as saying, "You're seeing a happy family, but in my heart, I'm dying." She has moved out of the family home and has said there's a "slim chance" of the couple getting back together. As shown in Family Jewels, the Simmons' have been in family therapy because of Gene, 61, his claims that he has slept with thousands of women. Last month, Shannon had enough of his infidelities and said that their relationship has "pretty much unravelled." She said, "I need some sort of commitment," and Gene's cheating has to be done with, "something has to give."

The couple had previously been 'happily unmarried'. Gene and Shannon have been together for 28 years and have two grown children, Nick, 22, and Sophie, 18.
