Shad Moss -- formerly Bow Wow -- and Erica Mena are engaged, she revealed Saturday night on the red carpet at the BET Hip Hop Awards 2014 in Atlanta.

Mena, talking to ThisIs50, elevated the actor-rapper-TV host to full-on fiance when she was asked whether he was her boyfriend.

The two have been dating for about six months, MTV News reports, but have kept things off the radar, for the most part -- except for the Valentine’s Day kissing and other flirting when she’s appeared on his “106 & Park.”

In one Hot Seat segment, Moss asked Mena who was the better kisser, himself or Mena’s ex-girlfriend, Cyn Santana.

“It’s tough because Cyn is very good at what she does,” Mena said. “And we didn’t really kiss kiss like that, like how me and Cyn have kiss kissed. It’s hard because it’s a boy and a girl.

After he proposed a kissing battle, the “Kourtney & Kim Take Miami” alum turned the question on him: Who was a better kisser, her or his onetime crush, Tyra Banks, whom he’d kissed more than once on TV.

“Hands down you,” Moss told his future fiancee. “On my mama. Hands down. ... I was daydreaming about your lips.”

Over the weekend, the 27-year-old -- who’ll be hitting prime time soon with Luke Perry and James Van Der Beek in “CSI: Cyber,” posted pictures on his Instagram account over showing her blingy ring and the two of them sitting together in the audience at the awards show.

“What do you think?,” he asked fans in a caption on the latter photo, which also included a shot of the ring.

So, what do you think?
