If there's one decision Bill Rancic doesn't regret for one second, it has to be proposing to Giuliana Rancic.

Exactly eight years after asking for the E! News host's hand in marriage, the businessman and best-selling author is opening up about how much life has changed for the better since meeting his wife. Warning ladies and gentlemen, his story is the sweetest.

"Looking back almost a decade, obviously it's gotten better every year, for us and especially for me," he shared with ABC News. "I have a son, Duke, and a wife, who continues to challenge and inspire me every day."

On one Chicago evening eight winters ago, Bill surprised his leading lady with a helicopter ride over the city. While Giuliana thought she was going to look at Christmas lights, the red carpet veteran received another unexpected event when Bill got down on one knee.

"We got up there and were drinking champagne and had Michael Bublé playing in the background," Bill recalled. "Then we flew over Michigan Avenue. That's when I got down on one knee."

Fast-forward to today and the Giuliana & Bill stars share a stronger bond than ever before. They also happen to have an adorable son who may be getting a younger brother or sister sooner rather than later.

"The plan is definitely to give him a brother or sister. I'm not getting any younger, so if we are going to do it, we better do it soon," Bill shared. "Fingers crossed, say our prayers and God willing, we will have another one and then that will be it."

Until then, the two are focused on being the best parents to Duke as well as the best partners for each other.

"I always say marriage and kids are the two things that will affect your life from that day on," Bill explained. "So you better make those decisions wisely, marriage probably more so because the day you get married, everything you do from that point on is different. It's no longer 'I,' it's 'We.'"

He added, "I can't think of a better decision I've made since than marrying this amazing woman."
