New York, May 19: It has emerged that American actress Jennifer Love Hewitt was warned about her year-long engagement to Scottish actor Ross McCall.

Psychic James Van Praagh, an executive producer of Hewitt's show, "Ghost Whisperer", had apparently told her that the relationship was doomed even before she and McCall, 32, split in January.

"I warned her Ross was not ready to marry her . . . He was afraid of wedded life," the New York Post quoted Praagh as saying.

Praagh, author of "Unfinished Business: What the Dead Can Teach Us About Life," had found it tough to tell Hewitt, 30.

"I did not want to break her heart, knowing it would be broken in a few weeks anyway," he added. (ANI)
