"It was a really beautiful night, and me and the kids were sitting on the front porch steps and looking out at the view," she continued. "He said my name, and I got up, and then he got down on one knee. And then Jolie just started jumping up and down ... it was the cutest thing ever. It's like, she knew what was happening."

The "Click" star said she "blacked out" and couldn't remember what Russell exactly said, but they reportedly both burst into tears.

"He's fantastic. I mean, he's a, he's a really, really great guy," Kramer said of her new love. "I think what's different in this relationship is there's just so much respect, and I've never been so respected in a relationship, and with that comes so much love."
