Katie Austin is engaged!
The model, 29, just announced that she is engaged to her boyfriend of nearly 3 years, Rialto Capital Management vice president Lane Armstrong.
Austin, who was announced as SI Swimsuit's Rookie of the Year in 2022, shared the exciting news on Instagram alongside a carousel of snaps that perfectly captured the breathtaking moment that took place on the beach.
See the gorgeous engagement photos right here!
The first photo captured the couple embracing with a passionate kiss, seemingly after Armstrong popped the question. Austin donned a long-sleeve sunflower dress while her now fiancé opted for black jeans and a cream-colored long-sleeve shirt.
Not only was the sunset backdrop visually stunning with the photos captured at the perfect moment as the sun began to set, the beach was decorated with pink and white flowers on the sand ensuring that the special occasion looked picture-perfect.
"YES YES YES YES X 10000 MILLION YES!!!!! I can’t wait to be your WIFE❤️❤️❤️," the model captioned the post, which also included photos of the couple snuggling up to each other, along with a photo of the exact moment he got down on one knee. Austin even shared a glimpse of the gorgeous rock that Armstrong proposed with.
Many celebrity friends took to the comments to congratulate the two on their engagement!
YouTuber Remi Cruz wrote, "AHHHHH CONGRATS 💕💕💕💕," while Matt King also showed his excitement, writing, "OMG OMG OMG OMG YAHOOOOOOOO CONGRATS YOU TWO!! SO THRILLED!"
Model Miranda Kerr commented, "Omg congratulations ❤️🙌❤️"
Fellow SI Swimsuit Rookie Ellie Thumann also noted, "AWWW CONGRATS❤️❤️"
Austin and Armstrong started dating in 2020, with the former revealing how the duo met back in September of 2022.
Former Patriots cheerleader, Camille Kostek–who is dating former Patriots player Rob Gronkowski–took to her Instagram to promote the dating app, The League, and its partnership with the NFL, which Austin credited as the reason for her relationship.
"MY BOYFRIEND AND I MET ON THE LEAGUEEEEE I LOVE THIS💘💘💘💘," she shared in the comments.
Congratulations to the future newlyweds!
