Jenny McCarthy had big news to share Wednesday on "The View": She's engaged to Donnie Wahlberg.
McCarthy raised her hidden left hand from behind the desk, revealing an engagement ring.
“It’s a yellow sapphire,” she said. “The View” co-host told how Wahlberg, star of CBS’ “Blue Bloods” and a member of New Kids on the Block, proposed to her last weekend. She said her son, Evan, helped with the proposal.
Wahlberg, 44, then came on the set of the ABC show and hugged and kissed his fiancee.
“I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He’s so wonderful,” McCarthy, 41, said.
This will be the second marriage for both.

Miley Cyrus is canceling another concert and remains hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics.
A representative for the 21-year-old says in a statement that Cyrus is canceling her Wednesday performance at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
The singer also tweets that the hospital will not release her. She apologized in a tweet Wednesday.
Cyrus canceled a Tuesday show in Kansas City, Mo. Last week, she canceled a stop on her “Bangerz” tour in Charlotte, N.C., because she had the flu.
Her rep said Wednesday that Friday’s show in Nashville, Tenn., “is still scheduled to go on as planned.”
Tickets for the St. Louis concert are being refunded.

Rapper Jay Z's Made in America music festival is coming to downtown Los Angeles' Grand Park despite concern from one City Council member that the influx of thousands of people attending multiple stages with access to beer could create a "nightmare."
The rapper joined L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti on the steps of City Hall on Wednesday to make the announcement, saying two years ago, “This was a dream.”
He also called Garcetti an “incredible mayor,” noting he “pulled this thing together in record time.”
The Budweiser Made in America festival had drawn opposition from those worried about multiple street closures that will be in place for days to accommodate the crowds. No music lineup was announced at the news conference, but big acts including Phoenix, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Jay Z’s wife, Beyoncé, have appeared at what’s billed as a festival “curated” by Jay Z.
