Jake Owen is sharing details and new photos from his proposal to his girlfriend of about three years, Erica Hartlein.
After announcing their engagement on Monday (November 30), the country singer is now revealing the significance behind where he popped the question. "5 years ago we went and got our first Christmas Tree 🎄together....at this same spot," he wrote alongside a series of photos of the sweet moment. "This year, I asked her if she’d like to get Christmas Trees 🎄 every year for the rest of our lives."
Owen continued on to share how the couple and their daughter, Paris, who was also with them, celebrated their engagement.
"Our little Paris was there to witness the complete surprise," he wrote. "So much of a surprise, Erica didn’t have her nails done..(yes, I now know that’s big deal I guess 💅🏼) She said yes in the sprinkle of a Nashville snow, and we celebrated by going to her favorite restaurant. She was successful not getting Polynesian Sauce on that bling 💍 Life is good. I love you @ericahartlein."
Owen initially shared the news of his engagement on his Instagram Story, posting a photo of himself, Erica and their daughter smiling at the camera as Erica shows off her large diamond ring. He then followed up with another photo of his boots and jeans, writing "Dat durrrrrty knee" to imply that he got down on one knee.
The couple has known each other since 2017, making their first public appearance happening at the 2018 ACM Awards. They met while she was an interior designer at Restoration Hardware.
