Tom Jackson, the popular contestant from episode one of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” revival, is engaged to his ex-wife Abby.
The love story between Jackson and Abby unfolded throughout the episode as the Fab Five slowly learned that Jackson wasn’t over his ex-wife.
“I love Abby more than anything. I want to spend the rest of my life with her,” Jackson told Antoni Porowski.
After his makeover and a confidence boost, Jackson and Abby were shown reconnecting.
Now, in a series of tweets, Jackson revealed that he and Abby are now engaged.
“It’s official, Abby and I are engaged. What a Netflix special the would be. If the Fab 5 planned and attended our wedding,” Jackson tweeted along with a photo of himself and Abby.
