America’s Next Top Model Season 3 winner Eva Marcille is engaged to her boyfriend Lance Gross.

The House of Payne star, 24, proposed to the actress with a 3-carat Pave Cartier ring in front of family and friends on Christmas Eve.

The pair met on the set of the Tyler Perry-produced television series two years ago.

“I cried. It was totally unexpected. I’m still in shock,” Eva told Essence over the weekend. “I could not even sleep because I was afraid that I might wake up from the most beautiful dream ever.”

“I’m proud to call Lance mine because I was in love with him before we ever met. He’s my dream guy.”

Lance says, “I knew the day I laid eyes on her because I just got that feeling. She took full control of my heart, and is the only woman that has ever made me feel that way, that’s how I knew she was special.”
