Model Winnie Harlow and NBA player Kyle Kuzma announced their engagement Tuesday, posting photos on Instagram and sharing details of the proposal in an interview with Vogue. Kuzma, 29, was proposed to Harlow, 30 on February 13th.
According to Vogue, he chartered private planes to Türkiye and the Caicos Islands over the long weekend, returning to the special place he spent his vacation together in 2022. The plane was decorated with roses, balloons, chocolate and champagne, but Harlow didn't. Instead, think it's a grand romantic gesture of Valentine's Day and watch the proposal come.
He read her a poem he wrote, which ended with the line “Will you become my wife?” She said yes.
The ring – “8.5-carat oval engagement ring with two baguette stones on the sides”, per vogue – was designed by Kuzma. He told the magazine:
After the plane landed, Kuzma surprised Harlow again. Her family, Kuzma's family, and some friends waited in a private villa to celebrate their engagement together.
“I've been dreaming of this moment since I was a little girl, and it's even more beautiful than I could have,” Harlow told the New York Times in an email sent by the representative. “I'm full of love for him and am thrilled to start this incredible new chapter of our lives.”
By Wednesday evening, more than 900,000 likes for the couple's joint announcement post on Instagram! There were thousands of comments. The world of entertainment, fashion and sports stars commented and sent a congratulatory celebration to the couple.
“Ah, I'm so happy for both of you!!!” Written by actress Keke Palmer.
“One thing about a Jamaican woman, she's her wife,” Jamaican dancehall singer Shence wrote, “Congratulations,” and nodded the ring and fire emoji to Ms. Harlow's Jamaican roots.
The Canadian model, whose career began when she competed in “America's Next Top Model,” is the first model with Vitiligo who walked the secret fashion show in Victoria. Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition, causing skin patches to lose pigment.
Kuzma, a native of Flint, Michigan, is an eight-year NBA veteran and champion, and his bold tunnel fashion sense has spoken for many years.
“Stop!! omgeeee!!! Yessss So Beautiful!!,” star basketball player Angel Reese commented in Heart Eyes emojis.
I also often sent my hopes on Instagram posts, including Naomi Osaka, Ciara, Lori Harvey, Tems, Justine Skye, Dixie D'Amelio, Alton Mason, Anitta, La La Anthony, Madison Beer, Chloe Bailey, Sunisa Lee, There was Normani.
The couple has been dating since 2020. In an interview with The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2021, Harlow explained how she met the principal now.
Kuzma sent a message on Instagram in 2019, contacted her again in the spring of 2020, messaged her and posted a photo of her. She hadn't seen his first message, but she replied after looking at the second. “He shot the shot, right? He slid on the DMS,” she said, adding, “It's cute.”
They spoke on FaceTime, “24 hours a day for a month.” She said she has been in town ever since.
On an episode of the show “Hot Ones Versus,” Harlow was asked if he had ever lied about watching one of his games. The couple laughed. “It's hilarious. No, I don't have it, thank you very much,” replied Mr. Hello. She added that she attends several games, watches games on television and often tracks the score. She said Kuzma had recently asked her to join his game.
Kuzma added: “But I always have a good game before her. I rarely have a bad game – at least in front of her.”
The couple has not yet shared their wedding plans, but Harlow said: “We are really looking forward to the planning process. Kyle and I are both really creative and love the attention to detail, so we are excited to make it a special event for family and friends to celebrate our love. I'm doing it.”
