In fact, things were quite awkward when Ben admitted that he had no remembrance of his first meeting with his fiancé in The Late show hosted by James Corden. He further says that he blew her off the first time he met her,

This engagement news is truly a good news to all the Gotham fans rooting for them. Wedding planners better be optimistic, they are soon to be in need.
