Miami Dolphins punter Jake Bailey and long-term girlfriend Bailey Nicole posted their engagement pictures on social media after Jake proposed on Tuesday.
The pair shared their romantic pictures, which were taken on a beach with them dressed in white.
Nicole flashed her engagement ring as they collaboratively captioned: ‘Forever 12.19.23’.
As tradition goes, when Bailey ties the knot with the former Miss Massachusetts and NFL cheerleader, she will likely take his last name.
Nicole will not hold her maiden name for long before she’s officially named ‘Bailey Bailey’.

While fans were congratulatory on social media, they also reacted to Nicole’s future name.
‘He has to let her keep her name right?!?’ One fan reacted.
‘Daughters will be named Bailee, Bayleigh & Baylee and their son, Bay Lee,’ another jokingly suggested.
‘I feel like you have to switcharoo and go by Nicole Bailey or Pelé it and just go by Bailey,’ a third added.
Bailey first shared his relationship with Nicole in 2020, a year after getting drafted by the New England Patriots out of Stanford.
The Valentine’s Day post showed the couple dressed sharply outside a Boston restaurant with Bailey alluding to their shared name.
