In an emotional post revealing that Malissa accepted his proposal, Mero paid tribute to their relationship and the impact she has had on his life. “Malissa, from the moment we met, you’ve made my world brighter in ways I didn’t know were possible,” Mero wrote. “You make me feel seen, loved, and better every single day”.
