He told Inside Edition: 'I wanted to look my very best. Janice is a supermodel.'

And it seems to have been a magnanimous gesture on the shrink's part, as he also insisted, 'I don't have to change for her to love me.'

As if to reassure her lover, Janice, 60, said: 'I love you the way you are.'

Janice and her psychopharmacology expert fiance - who goes by the nickname of Rocky - have been engaged since December of 2012 - he proposed after three months. 

She said at the time of her love for her man: 'I intend to make Rocky the happiest man in the world for the rest of his life,' she told US Weekly

'I couldn't be happier right now. Oh! And our wedding is going to make Brad and Angelina's look like a trip to city hall!'

Janice met Robert through his real estate son and Janice told the publication: 'It was love at first sight.' 

She has previously dated the likes of Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty.
