Congratulations are in order for model Winnie Harlow. Harlow, 30, announced her engagement to NBA star Kyle Kuzma, 29, in an Instagram post on Tuesday alongside images of her 8.5 carat ring. The couple, who quietly started dating in April 2020, told Vogue that Kuzma chartered a plane for the surprise proposal and filled it with red roses, balloons, chocolate, and champagne. Harlow simply assumed the grand gesture was to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but after they boarded the plane, the Milwaukee Bucks small forward asked the model to sit down next to him and started to read her a poem he had written. “For a split second in my head I thought, ‘This would be so cute if this was an engagement,’” Harlow told Vogue. “But I’m also not the type of person who wants to guess or wants to spoil a surprise. So it just was a fleeting thought in my head.” Turns out Harlow’s suspicions were spot on, as Kuzma ended his poem with the question: “Will you marry me?” and an oval-cut diamond ring. The athlete had spent three months designing the ring himself and said: “I never really asked her what type of ring she liked or anything. I just wanted to draw a picture of what I felt resembled her — something that was elegant, but very timeless and simplistic at the same time.”
