The pair was in Florence, Italy, and Bertinelli wanted to wind down.
And I’m like, ‘I just want to read this magazine.’
It was a crappy dinner," the actor explained.
However, things took an unexpected turn for the star when Vitale presented her with a ring box.
While this might’ve been a moment to start feeling better, Bertinelli didn’t.
Unfortunately for her (or perhaps Vitale), another aspect of the proposal made her furious the ring.
She recalled, “I said, ‘Why did you spend so much money?
Why did you go to Tiffany’s?
You should’ve gone someplace else with cheaper jewelry.'”
Six months later,she took a huge step in her personal lifeand officially initiated divorce proceedings.
Despite a prenuptial agreement in place, Bertinelli ultimately settled, paying Vitale over $2 million.
If you ask us, she ended up paying for that engagement ring herself!
Despiteher initial reservations, Bertinelli eventually started dating again.
