On April 5, Mike Fleiss, 49, married his girlfriend, Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler, At 26 years old, she’s almost half his age. But despite the big age difference, the celebrity couple has never looked more in love, according to Neil Lane, who designed Kaeppler’s platinum five-carat diamond ring. “It’s great to see two people that I really like so much in love. I wish them a lifetime of happiness,” said Lane.
