In a sneak peek at the episode, airing tonight, the 61-year-old gets down on one knee during a holiday in Belize with the former Playboy model and mother of his two children.

'I come with so much baggage, but you're the only friend I've got. You're the only one I love...and you're the only one I ever will love,' Simmons tells Tweed, 54.

Speaking softly, the rocker adds: 'I've never said those words to anybody.

'And I don't ever want to...funny, I used to watch movies where they say I can't live without you, but for me it's true.'

 The preview does not reveal whether or not she accepts the proposal.

 Earlier in the episode, the couple's two children, Nick, 22, and Sophie, 19, express their disbelief that Gene is actually going to pop the question.

 'I'm proud of you,' Nick tells his father.




 Sparkler: In another preview clip the rocker is seen selecting the ring

 Simmons is seen asking his daughter whether Tweed will like the ring he's chosen.

 'Of course mom will love it, it's huge!' Sophie replies.

 This season of the reality show saw Gene and Shannon endure some relationship trouble when she tired of his constant flirting with other women.

 Tweed sparked speculation of a split when she walked out on an uncomfortable interview on The Joy Behar show in which both she and Simmons openly discussed his 'philandering ways.'

'That's very nice for you to joke about it, Tweed said sarcastically. 'F*** off. I'm done.'
