Adrienne Maloof And Jacob Busch Are "Very Close" To An Engagement
Adrienne Maloof and her much younger boyfriend, Jacob Busch are reportedly "very close" to becoming engaged.
Earlier this week, the former star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was promoting her new vitamin concoction Never Hungover, and during the appearance, she was sporting a ring on her engagement finger.
While Maloof, 52, confirmed that the ring was a Valentine's Day gift from Busch, 24, she also said that it was not an engagement ring. However, according to Maloof, she and Busch are "very close" to becoming engaged.
In an interview with E! News at the Never Hungover event, Maloof revealed that she and the Anheuser-Busch heir had just returned from St. Louis where they visited his family estate.
Maloof and Busch first met at Robert Shapiro's event for his late son Brent on Sept. 7, 2013. At the time, Busch said he was instantly attracted to Adrienne, who he thought to be "really hot."
"It's real, it's genuine, they're very natural together," a source revealed to E! News of Maloof and Busch's relationship. "They have fun together and he treats her like a princess."
And despite the age difference, Maloof has said that she and Busch have a lot in common, including their love of business and their family connections.
"He is very easy going," Maloof told E! News in Oct. 2013. "We have a common interest - our families have known each other for a long time. Our great grandfathers knew each other through the liquor industry, [and] when we met we just hit it off. It felt so natural, so organic."
Prior to her relationship with Busch, Maloof had been dating Sean Stewart, the son of rocker Rod Stewart. The pair began dating in Jan. 2013, following Maloof's divorce from Dr. Paul Nassif, and split in Sept. 2013 around the time Maloof first met Busch.
