"The AZ Insider" with Kathy Shayna Shocket: Get the inside scoop on Arizona's social scene and celebrity news.

This week: Breaking news.. A well known bachelor in the Phoenix fundraising social scene is now engaged and more...

Commercial real estate entrepreneur Walt Brown Jr. who had previously dated some community high profiles, asked Addison McGrath to marry him this weekend. Yes, the 6’4” bachelor with movie star looks, popped the question during a romantic dinner at the Casa Palmero resort in Pebble Beach. In a private room, the majestic setting boasted red and white roses, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and a fire GLOWING in the fireplace.

I remember Walt GLOWING when he first met Addison. “Can’t wait for you to meet her,” he texted me when they first started dating. And then this recent call, “We’re ENGAGED,” he happily gushed.

The lovebirds are pictured above with Walt’s sister Helen Strader at last weekend’s Concours D’Elegance car auction in Pebble Beach. They met through Addison’s parents Jim and Lori McGrath who live in California and golfed with Walt at the Newport Beach Country Club. Walt, a principal of Diversified Partners, has a second home in Newport Beach. At least that took the edge off having to “meet the parents” for the first time tradition.

And Addison isn’t the only new lady in Walt’s life. Wait.. wait…wait before you jump to conclusions in this picture.. You see, when Walt proposed and asked Addison when she would be moving into his Paradise Valley abode, she replied, “when you buy me a puppy.” So…. Coco Chanel, the new lab puppy is now part of their family – joining Walt’s black lab Chamisa and ten- year old son Wally. Wally will be the couple’s best man at the small private ceremony planned for November. Congratulations!!!
