But when Thom Evans decided to propose to Nicole Scherzinger, his girlfriend of three years, he popped the question in the country where his parents live: Portugal.

Last week, the happy couple shared romantic pictures online that showed Thom going down on one knee and presenting his bride-to-be with a ring while Nicole held her hands over her mouth in shock. After the singer and reality-show judge accepted his proposal, the lovebirds embraced.

Former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole, who turned 45 last week, captioned her photos with the words: “I said yes,” while former Scotland international rugby union player Thom, 38, wrote: “My Ever After.”
