Canadian model Winnie Harlow has publicly shared her engagement to NBA star Kyle Kuzma through an Instagram post that expressed her joy with the words “To eternity,” accompanied by the hashtag “#shesaidyes.”
In her celebratory post, Harlow showcased several pictures of the couple enjoying their time on a beach, along with a captivating video featuring her holding up her stunning engagement ring while fireworks lit up the night sky. Harlow, who has made a name for herself not only in fashion but also as the founder of the Cay Skin skincare brand, received heartfelt congratulations from her brand on social media, which called her and Kuzma “our queen and king” in a post that captured the love surrounding their engagement.
Kuzma, who currently plays as a forward for the Milwaukee Bucks, echoed Harlow’s excitement by sharing her announcement on his own Instagram account. The couple had also discussed their engagement exclusively with Vogue, revealing that Kuzma had been planning the surprise for six months leading up to the proposal.
The magical moment took place during a vacation in Turks and Caicos, where the couple had first traveled together in 2022. Kuzma went all out with a lavish setup that included a chartered private jet filled with roses, balloons, chocolates, and champagne, which Harlow initially assumed was just a sweet Valentine’s Day celebration. The surprise took a romantic turn when Kuzma read a poem he had written, concluding with the poignant question, “will you be my wife?”, and presented her with an impressive 8.5-carat oval-cut engagement ring.
After the momentous proposal, the couple celebrated the engagement with their families with an elegant dinner and more fireworks on the beach, marking the beginning of a beautiful chapter in their lives.
Winnie Harlow, born Chantelle Brown-Young, has been a trailblazer in the fashion industry, having been diagnosed with vitiligo at the age of four. Her journey, which included facing bullying in her youth due to her appearance, led her to participate in America’s Next Top Model and gain prominence, ultimately reshaping beauty standards within the industry. As the first model with vitiligo to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Harlow has used her platform to advocate for diversity and has garnered an impressive following of 10 million on Instagram.
This engagement not only marks a joyful milestone for Harlow and Kuzma but also serves as an inspiring story of love and acceptance, showcasing the beauty of individuality and the importance of supporting one another through challenges.
