"I would choose you in this life and every life. Forever, my love," wrote the Victoria's Secret Angel in a photo taken on the shores of an exclusive luxury resort located on the island of Sumba, southwest of Bali.

In the most peaceful privacy and a dreamlike setting with crystal-clear water, the famous model received Palmer's proposal in a perfect setting.

True to their style, surrounded by waves, sun and sand, the couple gave free rein to their love in a fresh and authentic setting. Alessandra wore a cream-colored two-piece bikini, her hair damp and looking more radiant than ever. Palmer, meanwhile, wore black shorts, no shirt, dark sunglasses, and went barefoot with a wide smile on his face.

Another photo shows the pair sitting on the sand, surrounded by rose petals arranged in the shape of a heart. The carousel of photos also revealed a matching heart-shaped tattoo they both have near their wrists.

This is the second time Alessandra Ambrosio has been engaged. The Brazilian supermodel got engaged in 2008 to businessman Jamie Mazur, with whom she was in a relationship for about 13 years without ever getting married. The couple ultimately ended their relationship in 2018.
