Leslie Grossman, the radiant star of "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story," has tied the knot-to-be! The 52-year-old actress gracefully unveiled her engagement during a lively session on the October 22nd episode of the "I Choose Me with Jennie Garth" podcast, hosted by her beloved "What I Like About You" co-star, Jennie Garth.
As the ladies reminisced about their chance encounter at the airport, the conversation seamlessly shifted to matters of the heart. "It was delightful to bump into you! And you look absolutely radiant post-flight. I was secretly envious, thinking, 'Why do you always look so effortlessly fabulous?'" joked Grossman.
Garth, also 52, playfully attributed her appearance to her trusty "big hat," prompting Grossman to exclaim, "Hold on, you just dropped a major bombshell on me amidst the baggage carousel chaos! Can I share?"
With a touch of mischief, Garth hesitated, saying, "I don't want to steal your thunder." Grossman, beaming, then announced the joyful news: "I'm engaged! It's such an exhilarating time."
Keeping her fiancé's identity under wraps, she added, "This unexpected turn of events has taken me by surprise. Not that I didn't foresee him being a part of my life, but the whole new chapter that's unfolding is simply breathtaking."
Garth, overjoyed for her friend, exclaimed, "That's wonderful news! I'm genuinely happy for you. He must be a remarkable man." Grossman, overcome with emotion, replied, "Your support means the world to me, Jennie. It's surreal to share this milestone with someone who's known me through thick and thin. Being at this stage of life, reflecting on our journey together, feels like a beautiful adventure."
According to sources, Grossman's previous marriage to Jon Bronson, which spanned two decades, ended with his divorce filing in April 2020. Together, they cherished an adopted daughter, Goldie, who is poised to celebrate her 18th birthday in November.
"This upcoming chapter is imbued with luck and wonders," Grossman shared, her eyes shining with anticipation. "Turning 50 marked a pivotal moment in my life where everything was upended. I had to meticulously decide what to hold on to and what to leave behind. Our separation occurred around my 48th or 49th birthday, but it was at 50 that I resolved to be courageous and embark on a fresh start."
Garth, intrigued, inquired if this was the time of their divorce, and Grossman nodded, explaining that she chose to boldly reinvent herself, embarking on a personal "hard reset."
