Bareilles also thanked her fiancé for being a big help in terms of self-love, saying she’s looking forward to her future with the actor.
“And now I love ME more because of you. So really this is all about me. Just kidding. What a gift you are. Let the games begin. Onward into absolutely everything with you,” she said.
