Bozoma “Boz” Saint John is officially planning her upcoming wedding to her fiancé, Keely Watson, after getting engaged over the summer. But, as it turns out, the idea of planning a wedding (or, in this case, multiple weddings) isn’t daunting for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills mom and her entrepreneur beau.
Boz recently spoke with The Daily Dish and NBC Insider, where she admitted that wedding planning comes easily to her. This could be because Boz, the former CBO of Uber, is such a planner in her daily life, too. “Here’s the beauty of being engaged to someone who is right for you, which is that we are both planners and that we both enjoy it,” she admitted in our exclusive chat. “And so both of us are energized by the idea of planning, and we’re going to plan two weddings.
Boz also appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, Oct. 2, where she further shared some updates on both of the big days. “We have just started wedding planning, very excited about it,” she said. “Weddings planning.”
“Of course, you do nothing small,” host, Andy Cohen, replied.
“Absolutely not,” Boz admitted.

Boz explained to Jimmy Fallon last month that she wears rings on her middle finger, which inspired Keely to purchase her engagement ring. “A few years ago, I bought these two pieces of jewelry from India, which I wear constantly,” she revealed. “And so, when Keely was getting ready to propose, he went to India to get this ring. Without my knowledge. Went all the way to Mumbai.”
Bozoma Saint John had “high expectations” for Keely Watson’s proposal
When Keely was ready to pop the question to Boz, he did so surrounded by their family and friends while out to dinner in West Hollywood. But, Boz explained on The Tonight Show that there were a lot of expectations put on Keely to make this engagement very special.
“Jimmy, you know my expectations are very high. About everything,” she said. “And so I had very high expectations. I knew he had to hit the mark. And he really did. It was really beautiful and really sentimental.”
