Kate Upton announces engagement at Met Gala


If you're a supermodel, and you want to share big news with the public, it's hard to pick a better time to do it than the Met Gala.

So Kate Upton announced-- via a giant rock on her ring finger, and then with actual words-- that she's engaged to professional baseball player Justin Verlander.

She gushed to E! about her pending nuptials.

"I’m really excited. He asked me right before his season started, so we’ve been keeping it on the down-low for quite a while. So I’m excited to finally be able to share it with the world," she said.
