MINNEAPOLIS -- CBS Minnesota reporter Ashley Roberts got more than she bargained for during Tuesday's broadcast of "WCCO Mid Morning."

She was discussing engagement rings and their extravagant costs with her co-hosts when a "fashion expert" named Justin was called onto the set. To her surprise, it turned out to be her boyfriend, KTSP photojournalist Justin McCray.

Roberts joined WCCO as the morning reporter in November 2014.
