“Ladies please don’t do this it’s giving Masculine energy” — the hate against Melli Moncao presenting Gilbert Arenas with a ring was real. Although there were many who also cheered the couple. The former NBA star did not respond to either reaction at the time. However, the 3x All-Star has now opened up on what it feels like to be engaged.

Seconds after advising his fans to ‘go get engaged,’ Arenas admitted he is not used to the new vocabulary of “my fiance” yet. The former Washington Wizards star reveals it is all still new for both of them and hadn’t realized the nervousness he was going to be in for. “It’s a scary feeling…” he said in a recent appearance on his show No Chill Gil. However, Gil still believes once you find the right person who compliments you, you have to go for it.

But what exactly does it mean to complement each other? According to the ex-NBA star, it’s a state where two persons lack each other’s flaws and each other’s strengths. “So we get to teach each other our strengths… We can’t both have the same strengths and the same flaws,” he said. Gilbert Arenas gave love another chance after being separated from his wife for nearly over a decade.

First spotted together in a collab video by Monaco, the couple dated for quite some time before Gil proposed to the YouTuber in Paris. The former NBA star updated his fans about his personal life development through an IG post. “The Eiffel Tower is Where it happened, She said nothing… I guess i was so nervous, i asked and answered… yes… for her… so im technically engaged to myself at the moment… @mellimonaco still waiting…” he had written.

And after just 5 weeks of placing the ring on the finger, it seems the couple has really matured. At least, that’s what Gil’s recent fan interaction on his show reflected. The 3x All Star stated he hasn’t had an argument with Melli ever since he has known her. How does one manage such an impressive feat, you ask?

Well, on Monaco’s part, she understands the difference between Arenas’ internet persona and his off-camera personality. Meanwhile, Gil has admitted to developing the understanding that there are no non-negotiables in a relationship when you find that one perfect person. But what about Gil’s proposal in Paris? Did he get his reply or is he still engaged to himself?

The former NBA star could not have been more surprised when his YouTuber fiance got him surprised with a message — “Men wear engagement rings, too” — on their outing. With this, she presented a ring to the ex-Wizards star, while he looked a bit overwhelmed to comprehend what was going on.

However, Gil proceeded with a big smile and excitement, extending his hand to Monaco for her to slip the ring. The 3x NBA star even shared the moment with fans through his official IG account. “Got me feeling like a #Baddie… City Boys they’re giving us engagement rings now,” he wrote in the caption.

While there was no update after Gilbert Arenas’ Paris proposal, this instance confirmed that the commitment is on from both sides. But some netizens could not take the moment for what it was and went on with their unwarranted criticism. Gil, not responding to any of it, clearly showed he could not care less.
