Gayle King's Son Will Bumpus Jr. Gets Engaged to Elise Smith -- and Oprah Winfrey Helps Capture the Proposal

The 'CBS Mornings' host shared a behind-the-scenes look at the engagement on Monday.

On Monday, the 69-year-old CBS Mornings anchor shared on Instagram that her son, William Bumpus Jr., is engaged to Elise Smith after he recently popped the question at a stunning location, where she and others were watching surreptitiously in the wings. "Behind the scenes of the proposal," King says in the first video, which shows Winfrey, 70, scouting locations for the photographer to hide so that Smith was not tipped off as to the hidden intentions of her now-fiancé. The final slide shows King with Bumpus Jr., Smith and Luca, as well as a shot of the entire group holding up champagne glasses in celebration of the happy couple.
