In the post, Canela joked by posting a hashtag relating to the Brazilian model, #SheSaidYes. He then went on to admit that she hadn’t officially said yes, but that she wanted to “think about it.” Jason said he was “pretty sure she was joking,” well, at least he hoped she was joking! Many of his former castmates commented to congratulate the couple, along with CBS Daytime head, Angelica McDaniel.
Not long after, another Instagram post by Janaina Reis shared the same romantic image, accompanied by the words, “I love you and YES YES YES a million times,” so yes, she was kidding!
