"The Voice" season 9 winner Jordan Smith really knew how to greet the New Year with a bang!

The last few months of 2015 had really been good to Smith since he won the singing competition which catapulted him to fame. It seems like the Christian singer wants to continue his happy, lucky streak by proposing to his girlfriend (now fiancée) Kristen Denny.

Smith shared the joyous news on his Twitter account (@JordanSmithLive) with a picture of himself with Denny holding up her diamond ring. He writes, "RINGING in the new year with my future wife! She said YES! #Mr&Mrs. Smith."

Denny, on the other hand, expressed her joy on her Instagram account (@kristend) with a photo of her and Smith holding hands. "Wow! Yesterday was absolute perfection! Thanks for all the well wishes and sweet messages! I am so incredibly blessed and I can't wait to marry my best friend!"

The happy couple was showered with lots of love and congratulations from fans. "Congratulations, what a fabulous year this has been for you!! You deserve all the good that has come into your life!" someone told Smith.

Smith and Denny have been very open about their relationship on social media, often sharing sweet photos of how they hold "date nights" while in two different places as well as sweet surprises. "I seriously have the BEST boyfriend!!" gushed Denny as she shared a photo of her birthday present.

This is why their engagement did not come as a shock to fans and followers. "I feel like I've kind of been 'following' your guys' love story for a while now & its so sweet & beautiful that you're marrying," someone commented.

Another added that Smith's songs have always made her cry, but the proposal was a different thing altogether. "Once again, he brings me to tears of joy! He did good! ;) Hearing the news made my heart smile, love that for you both! God continues to bless you!"
