Kristi Gibson and Bret Michaels' Relationship

Kristi and Michaels met each other for the first time in 1994, and they wasted no time hitting it off. Two years after seeing each other, they officially began their relationship.

Their relationship took a big turn when they decided to welcome their first child together in 2000. They gave birth to a daughter named Raine Elizabeth on May 20, 2000. Later, on May 5, 2005, they welcomed their second daughter, Jorja Bleu, into their family.

Kristi also played a vital role in Michaels' life when he was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage in early 2010. He recovered by the end of the year after multiple surgeries.

Later that year, the two finally got engaged when Michaels got down on one knee to propose to her during the finale of the VH1 reality show Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It.

The 'Riding Against The Wind' singer proposed to his then-long-time partner, Kristi, saying, "I bought you that ring, not to be a friendship with benefits...we've had that for a while."

"Please say yes or the rejection will kill me right now," Michaels begged until she happily accepted his proposal.
