Since that day we've been inseparable,” she says. “Every single day except for when I leave for work trips or whatnot. And I just knew the day that I met him that he was going to play a very important role in my life. I was praying for it to be my husband and it worked out.” Morgan Simianer. @micahcookphotos 'Cheer' 's Morgan Simianer Engaged to Stone Burleson: 'I've Been Dreaming About This Day' Simianer says there’s many qualities to appreciate when it comes to Burleson. “He's handsome and smart, but it's his heart that I fell in love with,” she says. “He makes every single person feel special and loved and appreciated.
