Milwaukee Bucks star Kyle Kuzma responded to fiancée Winnie Harlow's revelation about the proposal he made a day before Valentine's Day.
It was truly a heartwarming day for the couple, as the former "America's Next Top Model" contestant and the NBA player sealed the deal with an engagement.
During Harlow's appearance on Alex Cooper's podcast, "Call Her Daddy," the 30-year-old model and entrepreneur shared the interesting details of how the proposal took place.
However, before the episode's release, the show dropped a teaser featuring the model hinting at the story behind the proposal.
On Kuzma's Instagram story, he shared the video with a laughing emoji, subtly teasing the reveal.

"Can't wait to watch it," he wrote, tagging his soon-to-be wife.
On the show, Harlow mentioned that her boyfriend-and now fiancé-was the one who planned the Valentine's Day trip to Turks, which she found "cute" since it was also her favorite place.

However, despite the grand gesture, Harlow revealed that she "got super sick" during the trip.
"Classic. I got super sick and I feel like everyone was super scared like, ‘Is this gonna ruin the trip?'" she recalled.
Thankfully, Kuzma was confident that everything would work out.
"Kyle was like, ‘Don't worry. Once this goes down, she will forget she's completely sick,' and rightfully so," she said, adding, "He was so right. This whole trip was incredible."
The reality show alum also revealed how the proposal happened.
The Bucks forward pulled off a special gesture by decorating the plane "to the nines," as his girlfriend described it.
According to her, Kuzma proposed with a poem he had written.
The gesture was an inside joke between her and the NBA star, as he had just been traded from the Washington Wizards to the Bucks.
Harlow recalled telling her boyfriend she wanted him to send her a love letter, never imagining he would use it as part of his proposal.
"I was like, ‘Write me a love letter, my sergeant. Send me a love letter,' and it was just a joke, you know, but he took that and wrote me a love letter to propose," Harlow revealed, calling the gesture the "cutest ever."
When Kuzma asked her to be his wife, Harlow confessed that she "went into shock" and was crying the whole time.
The 29-year-old athlete proposed to his longtime girlfriend with an 8.5-carat oval-cut diamond ring.
Celebrities and athletes such as Suni Lee, Angel Reese, Naomi Osaka and WAGs like Ciara and Olivia Culpo congratulated the couple.
