She revealed that the rapper proposed on August 17 in Utah when they were surrounded by friends. But she also shared how he picked out the ring and planned the event.“A couple months before the proposal, Austin started casually slipping these very ‘hypothetical’ questions about rings into conversation, trying to figure out what I liked without giving himself away,” Lee shared. “One day, completely out of the blue, he asked me, ‘Pear, heart, or cushion?’ I told him I’d always thought there was something so chic about an oval.”Lee said she told him that she “preferred the opposite—something very simple, with a delicate, thin gold band.”When he asked her if the ring could be “too big”, she “jokingly told him I didn’t think so.”But he ended up picking the perfect piece.“When I saw it, I was honestly speechless,” she said. “He had somehow taken all of those little conversations and created exactly what I would have chosen for myself.”She added that it was “incredibly sweet knowing how much thought he put into creating something that felt entirely my own.”Though the proposal itself was a surprise, the musical artist tried to do even more to make their time in Utah special.“Austin first surprised me with a baby Highland cow, bunnies, and chickens,” Lee said, before hosting a beautiful dinner outdoors. He proposed under an array of flowers and greenery.“There was something so special about being at our ranch, surrounded by the people we love most and all of our new little animals,” Lee explained. “The whole evening felt incredibly intimate and personal. It was the most special moment of my life.”
