Model Winnie Harlow and NBA star Kyle Kuzma announced their engagement in a heartwarming Instagram post on Tuesday, sharing a collection of photos captured from their engagement.

Kuzma, a forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, planned the perfect surprise for Harlow.

The two embarked on a romantic long weekend to the Turks and Caicos Islands which is a destination that holds sentimental value, as it was the same spot they visited in 2022.

At the time, Harlow had no idea that a proposal was in the works. She explained that upon boarding the private plane she thought it was simply a romantic Valentine’s Day gesture.

“I didn’t expect a proposal,” Harlow said in an interview with Vogue.

The plane, decorated with roses, balloons, chocolates and Champagne, seemed to be a thoughtful treat for the occasion, but little did she know it was only the beginning.

Kuzma had a beautiful surprise in store. He read a heartfelt poem to Harlow and ended it with the touching line: “Will you be my wife?” Harlow, overwhelmed with emotion, immediately said yes.

The engagement ring was stunning. Kuzma had worked with a designer to create an 8.5ct oval-cut engagement ring with two baguette stones on the side.

“I wanted to draw a picture of what I felt resembled her — something that was elegant but timeless and simplistic,” Kuzma shared about the design.

The surprises didn’t end there. After the plane touched down, Kuzma had another shock for Harlow. They were greeted by their families and friends waiting at a private villa to celebrate the occasion.

The evening was filled with joy as the families came together for an unforgettable celebration, complete with fireworks and a beautifully arranged outdoor dinner.
