Patti Stanger‘s matchmaking skills have certainly paid off. Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker is engaged to boyfriend David Krause, 42. They are even thinking about adopting and starting a family.

A source tells RadarOnline.com, “Patti and David are definitely engaged and couldn’t be happier…Her relationship with David and their engagement is expected to play a big role in the new season of Millionaire Matchmaker.”

The 51-year-old matchmaker was recently spotted wearing a huge diamond on her ring finger.

Patti and mortgage broker David originally met online, and have been crazy about each other ever since.

“This is the one for Patti,” reveals the source. “He’s everything she’s been looking for in a husband.” The source adds that the happy couple is also considering adopting a couple of children together.

Patti was once engaged to Andy Friedman, but ended the relationship in 2010.

Patti Admits Finding A Match Is A Challenge

In an interview with HollywoodLife.com back in 2010, Patti revealed that celebrities are tough to find matches for — including herself!

“Celebrities are really hard to pair,” Patti explained. “The problem is, people think they know celebrities from watching them on TV or seeing them in the news, but in actuality, they DON’T really know them and they have misconstrued ideas – about myself included.”

Celebrity Wedding Guests?

Who do you think Patti should invite to her wedding? Do YOU HollywwodLifers think she should invite the Kardashians? Do you think Patti has finally found her soul mate?

First, Taylor Swift was dissed by Tina Fey and Michael J. Fox for her rushed dating habits. Now, the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer getting some words of advice from Millionaire Matchmaker’s Patti Stanger — stay single!

“Taylor Swift dates guys so she can write a breakup song about them. I don’t think she’s dating for love — I think she’s dating for creativity. So let’s get her off the market and put her in dating detox,” Patti advised to Us Weekly. “If she really wants love, she has to stop writing music about them.”

Ironically, the HollywoodLife.com staff came up with our own list of men Taylor should date next, but now that I’m hearing Patti’s opinion, I’m loving her insight.

Michael J. Fox & Tina Fey Diss Taylor Swift Too

At the Jan. 13 Golden Globes award ceremony, host Tina Fey hilariously poked fun at Taylor, and told her to “stay away from Michael J. Fox‘s son,” while Michael sat and laughed nervously in the audience.

Michael’s diss to Taylor came when he was at a book party for Ann Leary‘s The Good House on Jan. 16. While there, he admitted his horror at the prospect of Taylor dating his son Sam.

When asked if he would approve of a romance between his son and the country cutie, the Back To The Future actor said, “No. No … Just back off,” to Vulture. “I don’t keep up with it all. But Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career.”

Onwards & Upwards For Taylor Swift

No matter what any of these people think, Taylor is already back in the studio recording new songs. There’s a good chance one of those songs will be about Harry Styles.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Taylor stay single for a while?

Patti Stanger, relationship expert and star of Bravo’s The Millionaire Matchmaker, says Taylor Swift is shooting herself in the foot with all of her relationships! In the wake of yet another breakup, this time with One Direction‘s Harry Styles, do YOU think Patti has a point?

In an excluisve interview with Celebuzz, Patti spills that Taylor has “ADD with dating. She picks the wrong ones.”

She adds that Taylor is somewhat all over the place with her type: “Now she’s picking young; before she was picking old.”

“She needs to date in her own age pool. She needs to date someone who either can support her behind the scenes, like a musician in her band, or a businessman. It’s one of the two.”

Taylor has famously dated John Mayer, 35, and Jake Gyllenhaal, 32, and was most recently connected to Conor Kennedy, 18, and Harry, 18.

Is Joe Jonas To Blame?

But Patti says it was Joe Jonas, 23, who dated Taylor in 2008, that really messed her up!

“I think she started off in bad terms. I think [Joe] Jonas ruined her. When he gave her the Post-It note and broke up with her, I think it all went downhill from there.”

Taylor told Ellen that Joe broke up with her in a 27-second phone call. Ouch.

Do you think it’s Joe’s fault that Taylor keeps breaking up with her boyfriends, HollywoodLifers?

Marysol Patton announced her divorce in the season finale in of RHOM on Dec. 20, but even though her personal life isn’t in the best shape at the moment, her career definitely is! Marysol told us exclusively about the love advice Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger gave her recently and spilled on the advice she would give to other working women! Plus, which other housewives is she BFFs with?

How are your current relationships with the ladies on the show?

Ana, Alexia, Adriana –I’m pretty close with them. I try to keep my distance from Lea. It’s uncomfortable.

Do you feel self-conscious in front of the cameras?

You know, in the beginning, I was very self conscious the first time around, very, very nervous. After a while, if you are around people you know well — it’s harder when you’re with people you don’t know well — but it gets easier as you get to know the girls and as time goes by and you clique, it’s more natural. I don’t notice them anymore, no, and a cocktail always helps!

Do people act differently when the cameras are around? 

Oh, God yes! I just am myself. You know, sometimes I see people amp it up a little bit when they see the cameras. I get the hee bee gee bees. That’s when I fade into the background. I watch in awe! I’m like, no, oh God!

Marysol Patton’s Best Friends In The Biz

Are you a fan of the other Housewives?

I love Atlanta! That’s one of my favorites! I’ve met NeNe [Leakes] several times. When she comes to Miami, we hang out. Ive met Melissa [Gorga] from New Jersey, we’ve gone out a few times with her husband Joe. I know LuAnn [de Lesseps], we’ve gone out. I’ve hung out in L.A. with Alexis Bellino and Vicki Gunvalson from O.C. I’m pretty chummy with Patti Stanger – I know she isn’t a housewife!

Does Patti give you relationship advice?

She always tells me to look up. She’s very psychic and she’s very intuitive as well. She has a gift. She’s very psychic. One day I sat on the phone for her for two hours straight and she started telling me all these things about me and what I needed to do. She started telling me I need to look up more and I realized I need to get my eyes off my Blackberry and my iPhone. The world is passing me by and all I’m looking at is messages, messages and messages. Who knows what handsome gentleman is walking by me? Maybe he looked at me and I didn’t even realize it because I was looking down. And I realized what she meant by “you need to look up more.”

Marysol’s Best Business Advice

You own a fashion PR firm — who are some of your favorite stylish celebrities?

I love how Charlize Theron dresses. Victoria Beckham. Penelope Cruz is pretty fabulous too. She always has a great red carpet moment. Victoria Beckham always looks great.

What’s next for you?

Right now, I’m focusing on my company and the coffee business. It’s a big undertaking. My mother doesn’t really work so I have to run both businesses. Right now, I want to conquer the PR world and the coffee world!

What’s your advice for women looking to have successful careers?

You know what? You just have to believe in whatever it is you’re doing. If you love it and believe in it, you’re going to be great at it. If you have passion for something, that passion is infectious to people around you. That’s how it is in PR. I won’t take on a client unless I think it’s fabulous and I think everyone else will think it’s fabulous! Or I will never be able to sell it to anybody. You have to be that way in whatever business you’re doing. Plus, you can’t say no. Because someone will say no and ten no’s later, you’ll get a yes. You have to just keep going and pushing and pushing. It’s all about hard work. Things just don’t fall out of the sky. I think people get discouraged quickly and give up. You can’t.

Are you looking forward to the reunion shows, HollywoodLifers?

While some may scoff at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s relationship, Patti Stanger tells us why she thinks they’re really in love — and how they will eventually walk down the aisle together!”This is a good, good fit for her and I hope that Kris, her mother, gives the blessing because I think they’ll end up getting married. I really do. I think he has known the family long enough to know what the problems are,” Patti said.

We caught up with the matchmaker at Simon G Jewelry’s Summer Soirée and the kickoff of carnevale nights at the Palazzo in Las Vegas on May 2, where she gave us her professional opinion on the powerhouse couple. “I love it. KK babies all the way! I think that they both made a mistake at one point in their life. They understand each other and they were friends first. Friends are the best foundation for a really good marriage,” she said.

Even though Kim isn’t officially divorced, Patti said it’s totally fine for her to have already moved on. “Separated is separated, the whole thing was not even a real marriage. I think she fell for him and the attraction and chemistry was there but at the end of the day they just didn’t gel.”

While Kris wasn’t a good match, Patti told us why Kim and Kanye totally work. “They have the attraction, he’s got the money, he’s got the talent, she’s got the money. She traded up for a change, and this is beyond Reggie,” she said. “It’s an equal fit, if not bigger.

New York City caterer Andrea Correale gives us the inside scoop on dating on television and what matchmaker Patti is REALLY like!

Andrea Correale, one of the millionairesses appearing on the Dec. 14 episode of Millionaire Matchmaker, is the owner of Elegant Affairs, an upscale catering company based in Long Island and Manhattan. Even though she’s rich and successful, this millionairess had a hard time finding love –so she enlisted the help of matchmaker extraordinaire Patti Stanger.

According to Andrea, the opinionated matchmaker is, “just like you see her” on television — “tough and cold.” Andrea, who has also appeared on a few episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City, says she was hoping Patti could help her find a man who is “kind, romantic, ambitious and loves to play golf. A best friend and lover in one.”

Her chosen date owned a restaurant, so she decided to cook HIM a getting-to-know-you meal. Unfortunately, her potential suitor lived in Philadelphia and Andrea found that the long distance made sustaining a relationship difficult.

What do you think HollywoodLifers, would you ever pay a matchmaker to help  find true love?

This New York couple seems to still be spending time together following their initial meeting, and finding out they have more in common than they thought!

When Cindy Guyer, owner of the Upper West Side restaurant and bar Wine & Roses, appeared on Nov. 23 episode of The Millionaire Matchmaker the tables were turned — she was a wealthy and self-made woman looking for love. What she found, it appears, is more than she could have asked for in Mike Wachs, who she may now have plans to go into business with!

Cindy explains she was nervous at first about the experience, mostly meeting host Patti Stanger, but her date with Mike went perfectly. Cindy, who has modeled for countless novel covers, was immediately drawn to Mike, who owns his own security company, Royale Security.

The two had an amazing date in Central Park and enjoyed some beautiful wine, and now it looks like Mike might be helping Cindy in her quest to open new locations of her popular New York City restaurant!

It looks like some reality relationships really can work out!

After dropping more than 20 pounds and breaking off her engagement to real estate agent Andy Friedman, Patti Stanger is single and ready to mingle — but she admits it’s hard to find someone when you’re famous!

The Millionaire Matchmaker’s Patti Stanger is an expert when it comes to finding love matches for rich people, but when it comes to pairing up celebrities, the TV personality says she’s at a loss!

“Celebrities are really hard to pair!” the 49-year-old — who recently broke off her engagement to real estate agent Andy Friedman — told us at the Breakthrough of the Year Awards presented by Crest 3D White and sponsored by Sensa and RealD at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood Aug. 15.

She continued, “The problem is, people think they know celebrities from watching them on TV or seeing them in the news, but in actuality, they DON’T really know them and they have misconstrued ideas – about myself included.”

When we asked Patti — who dropped 20 pounds in the last few months, thanks to Sensa — who the most eligible bachelors are in Tinseltown, her face lit up. “I think the hottest, single guys are the cast [members] of True Blood!” she admitted, laughing, “Except [engaged couple] Anna and Stephen, of course.”

The affable TV personality also dished about her newly slim figure, saying she used Sensa for a little more than two months, and the weight seemed to literally melt away! “I just sprinkle a little Sensa in my water and on my food and I get fuller faster — my appetite went away,” Patti bragged, adding, “And I didn’t even exercise!”

Sensa, which was deemed the Breakthrough Weight Loss Program of the Year, served cocktails at the after party and they were a smash hit. We’ve even gotten our hands on the recipe, so you can make them at home! For more information on Sensa, click here.
