Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Bello mentioned,

We're pretty happy, considering that we just got engaged. So this is sort of our fun time out in Hollywood for the first time. It was very surprising and meant to be, but about time. I've finally grown up enough to get married.

Bello and Crenn announced they got engaged in Paris on December 29, 2019.  Bello further told E! News,

We're really excited about this new chapter. It's cool to be out together in Hollywood doing this thing I've been doing for 25 years, but with somebody, I really enjoy doing it with. Dom's a chef so we've been to some of her things, but not to Hollywood things.

In 2015, Bello wrote a book titled Whatever...Love is Love: Questioning the Labels, We Give Ourselves exploring the sexual fluidity.
