Victoria's Secret Angel Josephine Skriver Is Engaged

Her ring is incredible - by Isabelle Truman

Victoria's Secret Angel Josephine Skriver Is Engaged

Another Victoria's Secret Angel is officially off the market. Josephine Skriver is engaged to her musician partner Alexander DeLeon, who proposed to the model last week underneath the Northern Lights in Finland. 

Taking to Instagram, Skriver wrote: "When he got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever.. I have never been more sure about anything in my life. You are my biggest adventure. My fairytale come true. My soulmate. My best friend. The love of my life. So of course it was 1millionxYES!!!"

Revealing that DeLeon planned the trip and had organised a bonfire in the middle of a frozen lake, Skriver says the proposal happened on the 23rd of November: the same day his song, 'Aurora Borealis,' which was written about Skriver, was released.

I SAID HELL-FREAKIN'-YES!!!! I'M ENGAGED 😱😍😆😱 It was a cold November night. Alex had us driven all the way to Finland to see the northern lights. It was my second bucket list number i was checking off in the same week after swimming with Orcas, my favorite animals, in their natural habitat! Little did i know it would soon be my third! He had a bonfire built for me on top of the middle of a frozen lake deep in Scandinavia completed with the full moon shining on our backs and hot cocoa to keep us warm!?!? Like.. is he crazy?!??? For the first time in both of our lives we got to see the northern lights decide to show their dance across the starry night!! It was a full moon... it was on the 23rd (23 is my lucky number).. and the same day as his song "Aurora Borealis", which was the first song he EVER wrote about me, came out to the world! sometimes the universe just chooses to leave you speechless!!! that was when @bohnes looked over at me. When he got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever.. I have never been more sure about anything in my life. You are my biggest adventure. My fairytale come true. My soulmate. My best friend. The love of my life. So of course it was 1millionxYES!!! Sometimes in life you will meet that one person that makes everything make sense. A person that pushes you to be an even greater version of yourself. A person that makes you not just dream it.. but believe it! Believe in your own abilities to make anything happen! Love is not about compromising yourself. Love is finding someone that only adds to your own joy and shine! Teammates for life!!! @bohnes with you i just knew! You are all that and more. You walked into my life and i have never looked back. I love you. You are MY northern lights and MY Aurora Borealis. <3 -Your Jo

DeLeon later shared a close-up of the engagement ring - an emerald cut diamond with a split band encrusted with further diamonds, writing:  "Forever <3."
