Tom was remorseful of his actions telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, that it had actually helped him realise the value of their relationship: ‘It’s unequivocal. She’s my baby.' 

He added: ‘As bad as what I did was, it was terrible and I feel awful about it, I think it was like a wakeup call, because for a while I was kind of going through the motions in the relationship.’

His actions seemed to spur Katie to be even more determined to tie the knot saying: ‘Given everything that happened this summer, I think it's only fair that I give him a little shove and a little bit of an ultimatum.’

She said of the gift: ‘I understand he did put thought into the gift; he knew I love rose gold, and he even had it inscribed with my nickname “Bubba Love.”

‘Problem was that it was a ring attached to a string. At this point in our relationship, a ring should have strings attached, not attached to a string.

‘I felt like it was a pacifier without really having to make commitments.’
