She said oui!
Los Angeles Sparks star Cameron Brink was totally surprised when her boyfriend Ben Felter got down on one knee while she was in Paris for fashion week, PEOPLE confirms.
"Yes in every lifetime ????♾️," Brink, 22, wrote on Instagram, alongside photos of Felter's proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The proposal took place at the Shangri-La Paris Hotel after Brink attended the Balenciaga show — and she had no idea her longtime boyfriend was even coming to Paris. (Felter, who just started his fifth year as a graduate in Stanford's computer science program, told her he had had work to do on the West Coast.)
The couple, who have been dating for nearly four years, first met when Felter was a rower at Stanford, where Brink was also a star athlete on the basketball team.
They began dating on March 10, 2021, and though they keep their relationship mostly private, last March, they marked their third anniversary with sweet posts onInstagram.

“Three years together, a day to celebrate the soul that makes me whole ❤️," posted Felter.
Brink also posted a pic of the two of them for their t -
hree-year anniversary, writing, "3 years with you. Plus qu'hier, moins que demain." (More than yesterday.)
After graduating in 2024, Brink signed with the Sparks as the second pick in the WNBA draft, and made her professional debut the following month. Her strong rookie season was cut short, though, after she tore her ACL in June.
Felter, who was a two-time IRCA scholar-athlete at Stanford, also studied computer science, and in 2022 started working at the Defense Innovative Unit as a part-time portfolio analyst.

In June 2024, Brink told PEOPLE that Felter has also turned her into "a huge art lover."
"I love pottery and watercolor, even though I'm terrible," she said. "It's really lovely to just sit down and work your brain in a different way for a little bit,"
