So, who is Jennifer Newman, and how long has she been with Grant Imahara?
Jennifer Newman and Grant Imahara Relationship:
Jennifer and Grant are both costume and prop designers, so the two bonded rather quickly. Newman has been Grant’s girlfriend for a long time. However, he proposed to her in 2016, at Clifton’s Cafeteria in downtown L.A. In a style typical to Grant, he pulled off a gutsy move by inviting 250 guests who thought they were there for Jennifer’s birthday party. He proposed with a vintage 1.56-carat sparkler Grant, found at an antique dealer’s store in San Francisco. Jennifer reportedly said to TMZ, “F*** yeah!” to the $20,000 ring. Grant celebrated the engagement on Twitter with a simple message, which you can see below.
WE HAVE A YES. Just got engaged to @Jennernugen!!!
