NEW YORK (AP) — Brantley Gilbert has proposed to Jana Kramer and she said yes. People magazine reports Gilbert popped the question on Sunday, his 28th birthday, by renting out Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium Theater for the day.

The couple have been dating for about a year. Kramer says Gilbert asked her mother for permission to propose, which meant a lot to her. They say in a statement, “We are so excited to share this special time with our loved ones and cannot wait to start the rest of our lives together.”
