Engagement has a nice ring to it for WNBA star Breanna Stewart.
The Seattle Storm forward popped the question to girlfriend Marta Xargay Casademont, a fellow professional basketball player, in Arizona’s Papago Park.
“Life isn’t just about the moments, it’s about who we share them with!” Xargay, 30, captioned an Instagram post Sunday. “I said YES 💍 #wifey.”
In the accompanying photos, Stewart, 26, is seen on one knee as she holds Xargay’s hand with a ring box in the other.
Xargay, who hails from Spain, played for the Phoenix Mercury in back-to-back seasons in 2015 and 2016.
Stewart, who is a two-time WNBA champion, also celebrated the engagement news on social media.
