Singer Ciara and NFL star Russell Wilson have just decided to take their relationship to the next level by getting engaged, and the two could not be any happier.

Wilson popped the question during their vacation at Seychelles Islands. He shared a video of their engagement on his Instagram account (@dangerussellwilson) and wrote, "She said yes!!! Since day 1, I knew you were the one. No greater feeling..." The Christian athlete included the hashtag true love.

Meanwhile, Ciara shared the same video on her Twitter account (@ciara) and captioned it, "God is good! Grateful for you @DangRussWilson. You are heaven sent. I'm looking forward to spending forever with you."

She later shared a photo of Wilson getting down on one knee and kissing her hand. She wrote, "I feel complete."

Wilson had been married to his high school sweetheart before, reported CNN, while Ciara was formerly engaged to rapper Future. She and Future have a young son together, also named Future.

Wilson and Ciara started dating last year. They made the news when they announced that they would be abstaining from sex before marriage.

"It's just a fun new chapter in life for me," she earlier told PEOPLE about their abstinence pledge. "We talk about everything, and I think that's what you should be able to do as people and partners in a relationship. So, that's what makes it really beautiful."

"He's an awesome guy and a very confident guy. Just like I feel like I'm a woman that knows what I want, he's a man who knows what he wants," she added.

Earlier this month, she was questioned about her possible engagement to Wilson. Ciara explained then that everything is going to happen in God's perfect timing. "It's so funny how people put so much pressure on that kind of stuff; you know. It will happen when it's supposed to," she simply said.

The two have not announced their wedding date yet.
