The Aussie starlet said yes after Nick popped the question with an enormous diamond ring at his 30th birthday bash in LA on Monday night.

In a video uploaded to Twitter by user Karen Civil, the sports star gets down on one knee as the Mullumbimby-born beauty holds her hands up to her face in shock and shouts an enthusiastic: “Yes!”

Following the 24-year-old’s response, the couples’ friends can be heard cheering in the background.

Alongside the heart-felt video music professional Karen wrote: “Swaggy P celebrated his birthday tonight by popping the question to his girlfriend Iggy!”

The two began dating in 2013 and have since purchased a sprawling home together in LA’s San Fernando Valley.

Los Angeles Lakers player Nick has never shied away from the fact he’d love to tie the knot with the blonde beauty.

When questioned by People magazine on Saturday about potentially popping the question he responded: “Of course! Of course. But I can’t give you that surprise. You’re gonna ruin that surprise.”

On Monday Iggy – real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly – took to Instagram to wish her man a happy birthday and hinted that marriage was on the cards.

Next to a romantic black and white snap of the pair kissing she lovingly penned: “Happy 30th to my now old man nick! I’ll save the really mushy stuff for inside your birthday card that way you can blackmail me with it later.”

Before adding: “For now it’s just a simple: I looooove you, I’d do anything for you. Glad you exist etc etc. Ps. If we get old together don’t die before me. (Jk).”

Meanwhile prestigious jeweller Jason of Beverly Hills shared an up close image of the star’s incredible engagement bling, which features a canary yellow cushion cut stone and is believed to be worth a cool $500,000.

“Its always an honor when a client trusts us to help design a ring that symbolizes one of the most important decisions of their life,” the jeweller wrote.

“A closer look of the 10ct diamond ring that @swaggyp1 used when he proposed to @thenewclassic tonight. Thank you again! #jasonofbh #jasonofbeverlyhills #bridal.”

Very Fancy indeed! Congratulations to the happy couple.
