In the black-and-white snap, Sophie's now-fiancé, James Henderson, holds her hand, showing off a diamond on her ring finger.
" 'This is the time' 💍," she captioned the post, tagging the location as Zurich, Switzerland, where KISS performed for their End of the Road farewell tour on Thursday night.
At the show, her father's legendary band sang happy birthday, with Sophie sharing a video of the moment on her Instagram Story.

The celebration for the newly engaged couple continued into Friday. Sophie posted a photo of her and Henderson posing together, writing across the bottom, "It's giving fiancé."
Sophie has been private about their relationship until now. Their engagement news is the first mention of her fiancé on her Instagram page. It's not clear how long they've been dating.
The model isn't the only one in her family making big plans this year. On Tuesday, the KISS frontman announced that the group is extending its farewell tour to 100 more cities.
Speaking to Chaoszine about when he envisions the tour coming to an end, the 72-year-old rock star was admittedly unsure. "We don't know. We've never retired before. This is our first time," said Simmons. "It's like painting a painting or writing a book. When somebody says, 'When is it gonna be finished?' You're in the middle of it; you don't know."
Simmons then spoke about the decision to extend the tour. "The crew is happy. Everybody's happy," he explained. "So we've decided to add another 100 cities before we stop. I don't know how long that's gonna take."

Upon the tour's announcement in 2018, the band — which also includes members Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer — released a statement about retiring after its planned concerts.
"All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who've filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years," KISS said at the time. "This will be the ultimate celebration for those who've seen us and a last chance for those who haven't."
