It was the most romantic moment of her life and Gabrielle Union couldn't contain her joy.
A picture has just been released of the moment the actress said yes to Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade's proposal on Saturday and shows her embracing her new fiancé while he is still on bended knee.
The sweet snap also offers a glimpse of Gabrielle's impressive ring, a diamond set on a platinum band which cost almost one million dollars.
Joy: The overwhelming joy is evident in this sweet picture which shows the moment Gabirelle Union accepted Dwyane Wade's proposal on Saturday
The cute picture shows Union dressed in a white skirt and grey and black vest top holding Dwayane’s head in her hands.
While her face is hidden by her glossy black hair, his huge smile is clearly evident as he poses on bended knee with his head leaning against her, clearly having just proposed.
The 41-year-old Think Like A Man actress shared the thrilling news on her Twitter page along with a picture of the spectacular ring on her finger on Saturday.
'Sooooo this happened...#Yessss,' Gabrielle excitedly wrote in the caption.
'She said YES!!!' Dwyane, 31, echoed on his own Twitter account, alongside a post of the same photo.
The photo is a close-up of just her hand wearing the dazzling ring and resting gently on Dwyane's fingertips.

The basketball player proposed with an 8.5 carat cushion cut diamond ring by jewellery store Jason of Beverly Hills.
And apparently Dwayne took his time in finding the perfect stone for the ring - sending his jeweller to Miami in search of the right gem, and on the third trip he found the enormous diamond which he set in a platinum band.
The couple began dating in 2009 and, despite their obvious affection for one another, broke up briefly earlier this year.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Dwyane told Jay Leno: 'For us this was a big year for our relationship from the standpoint she was shooting her show, Being Mary Jane, and gone most of the year.
'I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship. So we kind of took a step back.
'At the end of the day, we came back together and said we want to continue this and we want to get better each day.

'She makes my eyes sparkle,' Dwayne told Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter last summer.
Dwyane is father to an 11-year-old son, Zaire, from a previous marriage.
'The biggest time she makes my eyes sparkle is when Zaire comes home and homework is a little hard that day, so he's stressing, and she goes to the table with him and she sits down until he gets it.'
Gabrielle talked baby and marriage fever in an interview with Just The Fab at her 40th birthday party last year.
'I'll probably get baby-fever somewhere after, you know, marriage fever,' she quipped.
