Sweet surprise! It’s actually been a few months since professional soccer player Timo Werner asked for his long-term girlfriend Paula Lense’s hand in marriage. She has now made it known that she said “yes” back then with a throwback post on Instagram.

In a black and white photo in which the two of them are standing on a roof terrace with a view of the sea somewhere in the south – according to “Bild.de” it is his property in Mallorca – the sparkling engagement ring can be clearly seen. The bride-to-be wrote loving lines regarding 2023:

“This year has been so special. We said yes 6 months ago and I couldn’t be happier that I get to spend my whole life with you. Yes to my soulmate, best friend and my whole life. Meeting you “When I was 16 was truly the best thing that ever happened to me! 7 years later we are ready for the next chapter. I love you forever and ever. Until death do us part.”

Sara Gündogan, Anika Neuer and Sophia Weber, the girlfriend of professional soccer player Kai Havertz, among others, congratulated under the post.
