“He is the partner i thought I was too independent to need,� she added. “I’ve learned so much about myself through him and I feel grateful and excited to learn more about the entire world with him by my side. My partner, my best friend, my cats’ daddy, my mans, my heart, my fiancé!!!

Frankel, a talent manager and fitness buff, also shared the peekaboo video showing off the “Antebellum� star’s engagement ring on his Instagram account.

“I asked my best friend to marry me, and she said ‘YES’! So excited to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing, hilarious, beautiful, and inspiring woman I’ve ever known,� Brandon wrote. “I couldn’t imagine a life without you. We make the best team, and we make everything fun and memorable.�

His Instagram post included more images showing how the proposal went down too. He enlisted the couple’s cat to pop the question, sharing a photo of the feline wearing a charm that read, “Will you marry my daddy?� Another picture showed “Will you marry me?� spelled out in balloons above a bed topped with rose petals.
