Aretha Franklin engaged to longtime friend
Franklin, 69, announced earlier this month that she and her longtime friend were planning to walk down the aisle. "We're looking at June or July for our date and no, I'm not pregnant, LOL!" Franklin said at the time.
"We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it," the pair added. "We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends."
