Amy Schneider and girlfriend Genevieve announced their engagement on Twitter
There's one thing that $1,382,800 can't buy — love. But it looks like "Jeopardy!" winner Amy Schneider has found that on her own. The 43-year-old champion announced her engagement to girlfriend Genevieve Davis on Twitter with a photo of the two of them wearing gorgeous, matching single-diamond rings with painted fingernails.
The warm wishes rolled in on Twitter after Schneider posted the engagement photo. While some kept it sweet and simple with their words of congratulations, there was one message that seemed to wrap up Schneider's entire experience the best. "How wonderful! Wishes for great happiness!" one Twitter user wrote. "It's been incredible to watch you on 'Jeopardy' and follow you on Twitter ... You've changed the world by just being you!"
This is only one of the major changes that Schneider has had recently. On February 8, she announced that she had quit her job as a software engineer to become a public figure, hence the need to update the public on her love life. Fingers crossed that means fans will be given an inside look at the wedding as well!
