Jameson added: “I feared for Jessi for a long time because she’s pretty big on TikTok and I love TikTok.

Lawless and Jameson closed the deal very quickly after getting engaged, an intimate moment that took place in the “privacy” of their own bedroom.
“We were laying on the bed and we were just talking, and I had the ring, I had it for a minute,” Lawless – who proposed to Jameson – told PEOPLE.
“I reached over to my nightstand and pulled her out and walked over to her side of the bed and got down on my knees and told her she was the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. I’ve ever met and couldn’t think of anything better than her being my wife,” she recalled.
Jameson plans to legally take his wife’s last name.
