Kristy Lee Cook's boyfriend popped the question in the sauna of her American Idol apartment on March 15, days after she survived her first elimination round as a finalist.

The country singer shared this little detail on Thursday because she did not survive Idol's latest elimination round Wednesday night.

However, Cook's boyfriend, whom she identified only as Andy, re-proposed on American Idol, dropping to his knee which he didn't do the first time out in the sauna. "He owed it to me," she said.

Cook didn't talk about her engagement earlier because of all the Idol craziness that goes with being a finalist. "The first time we tried to keep everything on the down low," she said.

There's no wedding date yet, although Cook guessed she might walk down the aisle in June 2009. She also might invite the judges from the American Idol to attend.

Cook, 24, was revealed to be the exiting singer, sadly leaving in Mariah Carey week with the inaptly titled "Forever."

"I was kind of upset that I went home because I thought I was getting stronger and stronger," Cook said.

Cook said her goal was to make the top five. In the course of time, she finished seventh.
