Adrienne Bailon is engaged!The Real co-host announced on Friday that boyfriend Israel Houghton had asked for her hand in marriage, and she showed off her massive engagement ring on social media.
Kudos to Houghton for picking one of the most romantic spots to pop the question. The couple have been vacationing throughout Europe, and it appears Houghton proposed in France. Bailon, 32, shared a video of her new diamond ring and sparkling just as brightly in the background was the Eiffel Tower lit at night.
The former Cheetah Girl and Houghton went public with their relationship in April, months after Bailon ended her seven-month engagement to Lenny Santiago, who proposed in February 2015.
You. Me. Oui.

In his own lengthy celebratory Instagram post, Houghton defended his fiance following the criticism the pair faced early in their romance. Back in March, Houghton had slammed cheating allegations that were prompted by his announcement to divorce his wife of 20 years just one month before he was photographed vacationing with Bailon in Mexico.
"I have seen and felt the essence of Gods grace through the life, the kindness and the courage of this woman. I"ve seen her attacked. Lied about, Wrongfully accused, Mocked. Laughed at, and misunderstood. But I"ve also seen the shining example of the eagle she is that rises above the cacophony of the noise of ignorants," Houghton captioned a photo of Bailon"s engagement ring.
"I"ve taken a giant leap of faith in asking her to share life with me forever and to give me a shot at getting it right this time," he continued, adding, "She has graciously granted my request... She said yes. Thanks Be To G*d. Thank you @adriennebailon for graciously loving me."
