I don't know about the chronology of this show's taping
Spoiler
but Kate Upton and Justin Verlander got married on November 4, 2017. It was a big deal here in Houston because that was just a few days after the Astros won the World Series. Verlander missed the victory parade because he and Upton were on their way to Italy for the wedding. So no longer engaged. Of course, none of the other answers would be correct either.
No matter where you go, there you are.

elwing likes to tell the story of an experience she had in high school. She was asked a question in a math class that required her to know how many cards were in a deck. elwing grew up in a very strict Southern Baptist household and she didn't know how many cards were in a deck. She told the teacher, who refused to believe her.
