InstagramRinging in the New Year... with a new ring!
That's exactly how Floribama Shore star Nilsa Prowant kicked off 2021. The reality TV personality, who is pregnant and expecting her first child with Gus Gazda, revealed they are engaged!
"On cloud nine," Nilsa began her post on Saturday, Jan. 2. "The love of my life asked me to spend forever with him tonight on my 27th birthday. Today has been more than I could have ever imagined. I can't believe I get to marry my best friend and bring our son Gray into this world soon."
"Gus," she continued, "you've picked up the broken pieces of my heart and put them back together one by one. You never cease to amaze me. I can always count on you! You are kind, caring, strong, and you love me so good. I know with you by my side I can get through anything."
She closed, "I would say yes over and over and over again. Every single time. Now...Let's plan a wedding."
Just last month, the couple celebrated another major milestone in their relationship. On Dec. 9, the MTV stars announced they were going to be first-time parents.
"Even in the darkest of times the Lord still shines his light," Nilsa wrote at the time on Instagram. "Our greatest adventure is about to begin..."
The mom-to-be shared a photo of her and Gus posing with a sign that read, "Baby Gazda coming May 2021."
Days later, Nilsa announced the sex of their baby with a sweet video. "Our faces say it all! I can't help but to think my dad had a hand in this," she shared, "our baby boy has been a saving grace for me. When I was at my lowest point I found out I was expecting."
"It was a reminder that my dad is still with me and does not want my life to stop," she continued, "but that with this baby, it's just beginning for Gus and I. I know my dad is looking down on me with the biggest smile."
It's unclear when Nilsa and Gus' love story began, however, they made their romance Instagram official in 2019. In February of that year, she raved over her relationship in a heartwarming Instagram post.
"I use to dream about the day I would be so deeply in love I could feel it in my bones, and now it's here and I could not possibly imagine life any other way...," she wrote at the time. "Every heart ache [sic] was worth going through to get to you."
On the MTV show, Gus has been referred to by Nilsa as "Gus 2.0," since he's the second Gus she's dated in recent years. As Floribama Shore fans will recall, she had an on-again, off-again relationship with castmate Gus Smyrnios.
However, it looks like "Gus 2.0." was the Gus for her!
