Adrienne Maloof may become a real housewife again soon!

No, she won't be on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she just might make that trip down the aisle to marry 24-year-old boyfriend Jacob Busch in the very near future. During an interview with E! News to promote her vitamin concoction Never Hungover (available at GNC), Adrienne showed off a big rock on that finger that was given to her by Busch on Valentine's Day.

Hold your horses—it's not an engagement ring, but the former reality star does tell us the lovebirds are "very close" to getting engaged!

Things definitely seem to be going in that direction.

Maloof tells E! News they just came back from visiting his family in St. Louis at the family estate where she got to meet the entire brood. She added that her three sons, Gavin and twins Colin and Christian, love Busch.

The Anheuser-Busch heir, who was at the interview to support his lady, noted that Adrienne is the best mother.

E! News has learned that Busch and Maloof initially met at Robert Shapiro's event in honor of his late son Brent at The Summer Spectacular in Beverly Hills  on Sept. 7th, and Busch was instantly attracted to Adrienne, who he thought she was "really hot," after their first encounter.

"It's real, it's genuine, they're very natural together," a source previously told E! News of Adrienne and Jacob's relationship. "They have fun together and he treats her like a princess."

And as for their 28-year age gap? Adrienne's not worried about it. "When you meet someone they don't have a number on their forehead," the 52-year-old had told us. "When we met we just hit it off. It felt so natural, so organic."
