Steve-O did some seriously crazy stunts in the Jackass TV show and movies. He put a leech on his eyeball. He put a jellyfish on his head. He shorted wasabi. He launched fireworks from his butt. He got a tattoo while riding on the back of a jeep on a bumpy road. He walked on a tightrope over alligators while wearing nothing but a jockstrap stuffed with meat. And in perhaps his most disgusting stunt, entitled "Poo Cocktail Supreme," he got in a "fully loaded" Porta Potti, which was launched into the sky with a bungee cord, splattering him with excrement. (And you think your job sucks sometimes.)
But as time goes on,
. Following the end of Jackass, Steve-O struggled with substance abuse, and checked into rehab to recover from his addiction to drugs and alcohol. Since 2008, he's been completely sober. Rather than continue tempting fate with alligators and fireworks, he's pursued a career in stand-up comedy, written an autobiography, made a documentary about his life and become a passionate advocate for animal rights. (And best of all, no more "Poo Cocktail Supremes.")

Now Steve-O - born Stephen Gilchrist Glover - is hitting another milestone in life. He proposed to his girlfriend, Lux Wright, and the best part is, he did in front of all of his old Jackass friends. On his Instagram account, the 43-year-old TV star shared the news, writing, "Last night, in front of a bunch of my Jackass buddies, my closest friends, my dad, and my sister… she said “yes”. I planned that for more than six months, and I’m so happy— I can’t wait for you all to see it."
This implies the event was recorded on video, and will be released soon. You know, a decade ago, we watched these guys shoot fireworks out of their butts. Now we're watching them propose. Time flies! (This is Steve-O's third marriage.
He was married to Brittany Mcgraw from 2006 to 2008 and Candy-Jane Tucker from 2002 to 2003.)

Lux Wright is a
photographer, stylist and visual artist, who probably has a high tolerance for pranks. She shared the news on her Instagram account as well, posting a cute photo of the two kissing. In the caption, she wrote, "Last night was the absolute best! I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with
you@steveo#yes#duh." Man, I don't know if I can handle sweet, sincere stories about the Jackass guys. There has to be a twist, right? Like when she opened the box to reveal the ring, a bunch of angry bees flew out? I hope they pull some stunts at the wedding. Maybe instead of walking down the aisle, they'll walk a tightrope over a pit full of alligators (and borrow some meat dresses from
).

There was actually another Jackass reunion last year. Johnny Knoxville,
, and Wee Man met up for the first time in seven years. (Wow.) Johnny Knoxville shared a photo on Instgram, writing, "Got together today with the all the guys for the first time in almost 7 years.
So fun. Driving home now and a little emotional. Here is a pic of me and Bam Bam. If you look close you can see a mean little shit in the background." (The mean little shit, of course, is Wee Man, aka Jason Acuna.)
Maybe all these nostalgic posts on social media will lead to a Jackass 4? I don't know. It's tough to compete with the stupidity of today's
.
