Tila had previously announced that she and Casey Johnson were engaged to be married. The two showed up together at a red carpet event in early December with Tila sporting a large enagement ring. She had previously said she wanted to start a family with Johnson, whose adopted daughter, Ava, was taken from her two years ago by her family. They said they feared that the girl was not safe with Casey, who had entered multiple drug rehabilitation programs, but had never finished any of them.

In the video Tila posted, she was lying in bed with Casey and said, "Look at this ring. Its 18-carat because my baby is ballin'. We are going to make love tonight for our honeymoon . . . She adopted a baby, Ava, and I love children. We already have a family. We are going to buy a house together and, once we get situated, throw an engagement party."

The New York Post reported just two weeks ago that Casey was intent on regaining custody of Ava.
