Heidi Klum gets engaged to musician boyfriend

Supermodel, TV personality and businesswoman Heidi Klum announced in an Instagram post on Monday that she was engaged to musician boyfriend Tom Kaulitz.

"I SAID YES," the 45-year-old German model commented on the picture, along with a heart emoji.

The post featured a black-and-white photo of the couple, with Klum showing her diamond ring.

Klum has been dating the 29-year-old founder of the German band Tokio Hotel for nearly a year. The two went public about their relationship in May.

Klum has one child from a brief relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore. She has three children from a marriage to British popstar Seal, which ended in 2012 after seven years. She was previously married to Australian celebrity hair stylist Ric Pipino.
