American Idol (ex)contestant Kristy Lee Cook leaves ABC Studios with a kiss after appearing on Live with Regis and Kelly in New York City on Monday.

Kristy was the last contestant voted off after the Mariah Carey-inspired show. Kristy‘s journey to AI has gotten attention as she had to sell her horse to get money to travel to the audition. Unfortunately, the person who purchased the horse is unwilling to sell it back. Even Ryan Seacrest pleaded with the owner on the show to sell it back!

Kristy Lee Cook, the American Idol contestant given the boot just yesterday, is engaged.

And no, not to her horse!

Us Weekly reports boyfriend Andrew Dobner, 25, first popped the question to Kristy Lee, 24, on March 17 but then then proposed again last night on Idol.

The Oregon native said they kept the news “on the down-low [because she] just wanted to be focused on Idol.”

“He actually got down on his knee this time,” Cook said. “He owed it to me!”

Kristy Lee expects to tie the knot in June 2009. Congrats, KLC!
