It is Nick Young’s turn to say goodbye to single blessedness. The Los Angeles Lakers star recently proposed to girlfriend Australian-born singer-rapper Iggy Azalea and he reckons that his life is going to get duller now that he has found his match.

“I’ve retired my jersey man, I’m done,” a happy and grinning Young told TMZ Sports. “I’m going to play bingo and cards, that’s my life now.”

Young popped the question to Azalea at his 30th birthday bash on Monday evening, according to another report by the popular entertainment gossip website. He gave Azalea a 10 carat yellow diamond ring and she said yes.

Young also took to social media to let his followers know that he is engaged to be married with the “Fancy” hit maker. “She said yes, it’s over man, I’m getting married” was the caption of the photo that he posted on Instagram.

Azalea, on the other hand, also posted pictures from the evening when Young proposed to her on Instagram. In one photo, Azalea was wearing her engagement ring with the caption that read “Happiest Day” and hashtag “#Isaidyes.”

Jeweler Jason Arasheben was the one who made the ring, The Hollywood Reporter reported Arasheben, the chief executive officer of Jason of Beverly Hills, customised the $500,000 worth engagement ring that is made of “8.15-carat fancy, intense yellow cushion-cut center stone surrounded by 2.28 carats of white diamonds and set in 18-karat white gold.”

Arasheben said that he brainstormed with Young to make sure that the ring would be perfect for Azalea. He said that Young gave him suggestions and ideas about how the basketball athlete would want the ring to come out.

Young and Azalea began dating in 2013. The pair met through social media when Young took part in “Woman Crush Wednesday” and revealed that he has a crush on Azalea. They got together to meet up. Since they become officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they have attended numerous red carpet events together, and went on dates and vacation. Azalea has also been an occasional onlooker at Young’s basketball games in the professional league.
