The supermodel, Adriana Lima, received the engagement ring Thursday night – her birthday – from Marko Jaric, his rep tells PEOPLE.

“He asked and she said yes. They are both incredibly happy and couldn’t be more in love,” ssaid publicist James Weir.

Adriana, who turned 27 on Thursday, and Jaric, 29, who plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves, have been dating for nine months now.

Jaric says he “fell hard” for Adriana, which isn’t normal for him. Jaric said, “I was not the person to fall in love easily. I am a difficult person from that standpoint,” he told PEOPLE in March. “Now, it’s a little different situation.”

Victoria’s Secret Model, Adriana Lima, has spoken openly about staying a virgin. Guess not for long!
