Backstreet Boy Nick Carter Is Engaged to Lauren Kitt!
Remember when he told you he’d never break your heart? Well, Nick Carter, the youngest of the Backstreet Boys, is engaged to his girlfriend of four years Lauren Kitt, he announced last Friday.
The boy band singer says he took his lovely lady down to the Florida Keys in order to propose on a romantic boat ride along with a few close family and friends.
He got down on one knee and presented her with a seven carat rock. Things definitely didn’t go as smoothly as he wanted it to go. He said earlier, “My boat was in such bad condition because I hadn’t used it for, like, six years. It took me five days literally on my hands and knees, scraping up my body [to fix it,]” Carter says. “The engine wasn’t complete yet but we still decided to go out.”
Despite the engine stalling a few times as they set out to sea Wednesday, Carter and Kitt – along with some close friends and Kitt’s father – arrived at a small island Carter had spent time on as a child.
“I had the ring in my pocket for two weeks. I was like, ‘I don’t want it anymore!’ It was driving me insane. I just wanted to get it out of my hands and on to hers…
“She said, ‘Yes,’ and I’m, like, ‘I don’t know what to do.’ She said, ‘You’re supposed to put it on my finger.’ So I did. I was in shock.”
“I wasn’t expecting it,” Kitt said. “It just felt very surreal. We both are just so happy in love right now and on cloud nine.”
And while the couple is excited for their wedding, there are a few other people they must consult before planning their impending nuptials – the band.
“Our first thought was, ‘We need to contact the Backstreet Boys and find out when their schedule will permit,’” Kitt says of wedding planning while the band works on a new album and prepares for their sold-out fan cruise in October to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
“It’s not up to us. It’s up to the schedule. We’re just excited and looking forward to the next chapter of our lives.”
Laurens engagement ring is a diamond engagement ring featuring a huge, pear-shape center stone and baguette side stones.
Congrats to the couple!!!
