Red carpet guru Melissa Rivers is engaged — Page Six has learned — after saying she’d never walk down the aisle, ever again.
According to spies, the daughter of the late Joan Rivers showed off a giant, 5.6-carat diamond ring at BravoCon over the weekend.
Now Page Six can exclusively reveal she is indeed engaged.
According to our source, Rivers said “yes” to her beau of one-and-a-half years, Steve Mitchel, on a beach in Mexico last month. Mitchel is an LA attorney, and he met Rivers at an event on mental health, sources said.
“He had the guts to come up and talk to her,” according to our source, “and the rest is history.”
We’re told the pair have kept their romance low-key.
Our source also said, “[Mitchel] couldn’t be any more removed from the Hollywood world, which is perfect for her.”
The TV personality turned podcaster behind “Group Text,” of course, has grown up in Tinseltown.
Her mom covered every square inch of the entertainment business during her childhood, and she joined the legendary comic in front of the camera for 1994’s “Tears and Laughter: The Joan and Melissa Rivers Story,” and “Joan Knows Best” in 2011, before their “Fashion Police” series became a hit.
Melissa famously has said over and over she’d never tie the knot again, after her marriage to her son’s dad, horse trainer John Endicott, ended in 2003 after five years.
Joan Rivers reportedly spent $3 million dollars on her daughter’s fairy tale wedding at the Plaza Hotel and infamously had over 30,000 white flowers on hand for the event.
Melissa didn’t comment.
In 2021 the star and author of “The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief and Manipulation,” said she’d like to have another child, but didn’t think she needed to be married to do it.
“My girlfriends are like, ‘You lost your mind,’” she said, “We’re all in the place in our lives where our children are all just getting out. They’re laughing. They’re like, ‘Really? You want to go through the stress of even getting into college again?’ They’re like, ‘Do you really want to do this?’”
