Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo is set to tie the knot with football player Christian McCaffrey after dating for almost four years.

The American beauty queen-model made their engagement public by showing moments from when Christian McCaffrey popped the question, via her Instagram page on Saturday, April 8.

In a separate post, Culpo admitted they initially kept their engagement secret, saying, “We tried to keep this quiet for as long as possible but apparently, word travels fast.”

“I’m marrying my best friend. I love you so much, fiancé,” she added.
