Jo Dee Messina is walking on cloud nine now after announcing her engagement to Chris Deffenbaugh. The country singer and her husband-to-be plan to walk down the aisle sometime in the fall.

Chris, a New Mexico native, owns a company that builds road cases and audio equipment called Deffenblaster Enterprises, reports GAC. Jo Dee is a sensational star in the country music biz, having nine No. 1 singles and three No. 1 records. She plans to release a new album later this year.
