Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Lais Ribeiro and Joakim Noah.

The Victoria’s Secret model, 28, announced her engagement to the 34-year-old NBA veteran, revealing Noah had popped the question at Burning Man while she was suitably attired.

“I’m a bit late for Burning Man pics and of course I didn’t touch my phone for 5 days and I don’t have a single pic but thanks to my Bff @jeromeduran he captured one of the best moments in my life!” Ribeiro gushed on Instagram.

“Noah surprised me at my fav place in the world and proposed. And I couldn’t be happier! We are getting married guys.”

Noah, who played for the Memphis Grizzlies last season, also posted a touching message of his own.

“Proposing to you was the easiest decision of my life. Seeing that smile riding the playa at the burn … I will never forget that,” Noah wrote, adding, “This wedding is about to be lit.”

The couple started dating in 2018.
