Tom and Abby from Queer Eye share their engagement story and it couldn’t be more perfect

Tom and Abby from Queer Eye were the love story we never knew we needed.

The first episode of the recently-rebooted Netflix series introduced us to Tom Jackson, as the Fab Five gave him the confidence boost he so desperately needed. From a whole new wardrobe, a home makeover and a bit of colour corrector for his lupus - viewers were instantly drawn to Tom and his endearing personality. Especially his journey to win back his ex-wife Abby, the "love of his life". At the end of the episode, Tom found it in himself to ask her on a date once again - and the pair were off to his car show together (and, as we hoped at the time, happily ever after). https://twitter.com/TomJack20176306/status/973393035181674497 Since then, we've been following the couple's relationship journey via social media, from their split after filming ceased to their reconciliation - and, ultimately, their engagement. The couple recently opened up about the details of their engagement and, honestly, it sounds like it couldn't have been more perfect. Abby told Us Weekly: 

“We just went out for a quiet dinner, just the two of us, at one of our favourite restaurants. “He really wanted me to have a choice in my ring and to check out something I was absolutely crazy about. "So we did that in the afternoon and went ring shopping … decided on the ring and then went out to a nice dinner.”

“Thomas and I, we have never really been apart, apart. We have been best friends for 12 years and we have known each other for 12 years. "We have always loved each other, that never stopped, whether we were together or not.”

It sounds like the Fab 5 definitely passed on some life-long lessons to Tom - some of which he's still sticking with today. https://twitter.com/TomJack20176306/status/973577685858480129 He explained:

“I have my beard trimmed every two weeks and I use the beard conditioner and Jonathan told me two squirts of oil to keep my beard soft. I love the Fab 5!”

And Abby said that Tom's time on the Netflix show has given him "a lot more confidence in himself". She added:

“He has a lot more confidence in himself and he has opened himself up and got out of that rut. "He got into the new look and it changed his mindset almost. It put some pride in himself … I have seen such a positive change in how he views himself.”

The pair don't have anything set in stone just yet - just that they'd like a spring wedding - but Tom said that the Fab 5 have an open invite to the wedding, and he would love to have Bobby standing up as his best man.
