La Toya Jackson, who confirmed the news of her engagement to her longtime friend and business partner, Jeffre Phillips, confessed that "it wasn't a fast yes".
Talking about the proposal, the 58-year-old singer said that their relationship had always been professional and she had no idea why the 46-year-old producer was so nervous, People Magazine reported.
Phillips had proposed to Jackson in August 2013 during their vacation in Hawaii, by surprising her with a 17.5-carat diamond ring, which he hid under her dessert tray.
