In an exclusive for PEOPLE Magazine, the couple shared details on their special proposal. According to the news site, the 42-year-old popped the big question to Mai, 41, on March 27. Originally, Jeezy was going to make the big move back in April during a previously planned trip to Vietnam. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, he decided to surprise his boo with a proposal during a special date night at his home in Los Angeles.
“Jeannie and Jay were set for a trip to Vietnam this April. What Jeannie didn’t know is that Jay was planning to propose,” Mai’s rep tells PEOPLE. “Instead, Jay decided to bring Vietnam to Jeannie with a surprise quarantine date night in his home filled with Vietnamese food and decor.”
The two were quietly dating back in November 2018 and went public the following August, PEOPLE notes. Mai has yet to share the good news on social media. However, she did tell the news site:
“We both went through enough in our life to connect on the understanding that love should feel safe, honest, and pure,” Mai told PEOPLE in November. “Immediately that was a magnetic attraction. We are very attracted to each other’s passions to serve. So because we have a mutual joy of having purpose, we’re going to find a way to do that together.”
This will be the second marriage for tv star, who split from ex Freddy Harteis in 2017.
Congrats!
