Will Kirby is ready to play house for real.

The dermatologist turned season-two winner of CBS' Big Brother has popped the question to his partner of six years, Erin Brodie, and a rep for Kirby tells E! News the couple "couldn't be happier."

"I'm thrilled to be engaged to Will," Brodie tells E! News. "I've loved him for years and he has made me the happiest girl in the world!"

Here's how it went down...

The 38-year-old Kirby treated the two-time For Love or Money champ to a romantic, beachside sunset dinner at The Beach Village at The Del on Coronado Island near San Diego Tuesday that included her favorite foods catered by a private chef—lobster, grilled prawns, oysters and a tomato salad. He then surprised her with a massive 9-carat diamond ring set in platinum containing 18 perfectly matched emerald cut diamonds and asked for her hand in marriage.

Lucky for the good doctor, Brodie said yes.

The reality stars, who were first introduced to each other by Kathy Griffin on a Bravo talk show, already live together in California and have a 15-month-old son, Cash.

No word when the big day will be, but Kirby, who has shown off his laser tattoo removal skills on E!'s own Dr. 90210 and LA Ink, said he was excited for what lies ahead.

"I'm so fortunate to be in a relationship with Erin," he told the mag. "I'm thrilled to now open the next chapter of our lives together."

We wish them the best.
