The couple has a lot of fun together and share a deep love for one another, as you can see from their playful pictures together.

The Proposal

McCutchen’s proposal was very special to the couple. While he was a guest on The Ellen Show during a holiday special, he popped the question with a sparkling diamond ring! He called her up onto the stage from her seat in the audience and caught her by surprise with a heartfelt video dedicating his love, before he asked her to marry him right then and there!

She’s Big on Faith

Maria Hanslovan’s ethnicity has also been a recent topic of questioning, as she looks exotic and gorgeous! No reports have identified her ethnic roots, but by the looks of her bronze skin and long, curly hair, she could be a mixture of things! She is a practicing Christian, and often shares encouraging posts to her followers, and talks about her faith on her Twitter feed. As for education, she graduated from Slippery Rock University with a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Chemistry. She grew up playing soccer, gymnastics, and was a cheerleader!

The couple will now be very busy with the raising of their first child together, but they are extremely grateful for this new journey in life. The new mother took to Instagram to share beautiful pregnancy photos and this message:

“As I reflect back on my pregnancy, I can’t help but get overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion. I always thought I’d be the woman that didn’t feel like “myself” during this process, yet that couldn’t be further from the truth. I can honestly say I have never felt *more* like me.. the woman I was created to be. With these pictures, I wanted to portray exactly how we felt during these 9 amazing and breathtaking months. Faith, love, beauty, strength and so much compassion. Carrying this baby has been the most sacred and Holy experience. God continually showed us the divinity in creating a child, His child. It has been nothing short of a miracle every single day and for that we’ve never felt so thankful and blessed. Sweet, beautiful baby boy.. I have never loved anything more in my life than I have carrying you.”
