Sept. 1 was a very special day for the 24-year-old Kansas City Chiefs quarterback as not only did he get his Super Bowl championship ring, but he also gave his longtime love, Brittany Matthews, an engagement ring.
The high school sweethearts announced their engagement news on social media, where Matthews gave fans a look at the athlete's flower-filled proposal decor inside Arrowhead Stadium. It looks like the athlete popped the question inside one of the suites at the Missouri stadium with help from a lit sign that read "WILL YOU MARRY ME."
"This happened today," Matthews wrote on her Instagram Story along with a snapshot of the decorated room.
The football pro also showed off the unmissable diamond ring now on her left hand. The bride-to-be also shared a picture of a romantic dinner table set up outside in celebration of the future husband and wife.
"My heart is so full!" Matthews wrote on Instagram. "I love this man so incredibly much and today was so so special! Couldn't imagine this day being any more perfect!"
The couple's love story dates back to when they were teenage high school students.
In March, they celebrated eight years together.
"8 years ago, you played safety & I was a cheerleader in a small town called Whitehouse, TX," Matthews reminisced on Instagram. "Oh how times have changed! Love you."
Now, on the heels of Matthews' 25th birthday, the couple is officially heading into the next chapter of their sweet love story.
