Pop Idol Goes from 'N Sync to 'N Gaged!

Relax, girls — pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake is still swingin' single. However, 'N Sync bandmate Joey Fatone has taken himself off the market. Last month on The Late Show, the Fame host revealed that he'd proposed to girlfriend Kelly on June 18 and (well, duh!) she said yes. But don't expect to read all about their engagement on TV Guide Online or anywhere else, for that matter. "I keep my [sweetheart] and my [2-year-old] daughter kind of out of the limelight," he notes. "[Interviewers] ask me questions, and I tell them how [my family is] doing and stuff — it's not a secret. But I just try to keep them out of the limelight as far as pictures and stuff."

Relax, girls — pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake is still swingin' single. However, 'N Sync bandmate Joey Fatone has taken himself off the market. Last month on The Late Show, the Fame host revealed that he'd proposed to girlfriend Kelly on June 18 and (well, duh!) she said yes. But don't expect to read all about their engagement on TV Guide Online or anywhere else, for that matter.

"I keep my [sweetheart] and my [2-year-old] daughter kind of out of the limelight," he notes. "[Interviewers] ask me questions, and I tell them how [my family is] doing and stuff — it's not a secret. But I just try to keep them out of the limelight as far as pictures and stuff."

Fatone isn't pulling a Jacko, though; on the contrary, he's one of the more down-to-earth platinum-selling recording artists with whom you could ever have a chat. It's just that he's pretty sure that you aren't too terribly interested in his personal affairs, and if he opened up about them, you'd be even less so. After all, it's not like he's tying the knot with a Britney or a Christina.

"I've been dating the same girl for 10 years, and she's not a celebrity," he observes, "so people aren't really gawking at us like celebrity couples, where they tend to go, 'Oh, what are they doing?'" Maybe not. But as the time draws near for the duo to say "I do," don't say we didn't warn you that we might start!
