Don Felder and Diane McInerney are set to marry!
PEOPLE can exclusively announce the engagement of the former Eagles lead guitarist, 72, and the 48-year-oldInside Editionweekend anchor.
After two years of dating, Felder proposed on Jan. 19 during a sunset stroll on the beach in Malibu, California, with a custom-made, five-carat round brilliant cut diamond ring.
The location was special to Felder as it was near where the place he co-composed the music for the Eagles’ 1976 hit “Hotel California.”
And following the proposal, he surprised his fiancée with an “engagement-moon” at the Chable Maroma resort in Mexico to celebrate.
“Don is so in love with Diane. She fills his heart every day in every way with love and joy. Diane is beyond excited to be engaged to the love of her life. Their friends and family are thrilled for their happiness,” an insider close to the couple tells PEOPLE.
