Christian Slater Pops The Question

If you thought you had a chance with Christian Slater, think again. The actor is off the market and officially engaged to his girlfriend of three years, Brittany Lopez. He sat down with Jimmy Fallon to share how the engagement was almost a no-go.

The Cuffs star told Late Night host Jimmy Fallon that he thought his soon-to-be fiance was a lesbian when they first met in 2009 at the Little Palm Island Resort in Miami. “This girl came walking along with another lady, a slightly older lady,” explains Slater. “I was sitting in my usual spot, eating my oatmeal …and this spot was famous for people proposing to each other. It was very, very nice. So she’s there, and the next thing I know, she gets down on one knee and proposes to this older lady.’

Slater went to congratulate the “couple” only to find out the whole thing was a joke. “But it turns out it was her aunt, and she was just trying to help her aunt capture the beauty and the romance of the moment. She was making a joke, and I witnessed it, and it intrigued me, and the next thing  knew, we were hanging out in the
Everglades.”

This will be the second marriage for the actor who has two children with ex-wife Ryan Haddon.
