‘NSync’s Chris Kirkpatrick is Engaged!

Another ‘NSync band member is about to be officially wed! Chris Kirkpatrick recently surprised his longtime girlfriend Karly Skladany by popping the question during a trip to Italy.

The 41-year-old former pop star did not plan the engagement, but according to his rep, got caught up in the moment.

"We had a hotel room at the Isle of Capri, overlooking the Mediterranean," he says. "It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. And it hit me: I wanted to propose to Karly. So I ran to a jewelry store, found the perfect ring and bought it."

According to reports, the ring Chris chose for his 28-year-old fiancé is a large oval-cut diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds and set in a two-tiered white gold band.

After purchasing the ring, he proposed and explained, "We were sitting on the balcony with a bottle of champagne and I put the ring in her glass. I know it sounds cheesy, but it was romantic. As soon as I asked her, she said, 'It's about time!' And we laughed. It was spur of the moment, but it was absolutely perfect."
