No one expected it to happen, but 2 Chainz had a secret hidden in his tuxedo pocket he exposed at the Met Gala: an engagement ring. 2 Chainz, real name Tauheed Epps, got down on one knee on the famous Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art stairs last night to ask his longtime love Kesha Ward to marry him.

Ward, who has daughters Harmony and Heaven and son Halo with the 40-year-old rapper, instantly started wiping tears from her eyes as she looked both shocked and excited.

“It’s crazy, he just gave me this! So happy! I love it,” she told reporters on the red carpet as seen during E!’s livestream.

Here’s a little bit of information you might not know though: 2 Chainz previously proposed to Ward at the BET Awards in June 2013, but they never made it official. “They’ve been together so long and have three children together that he always refers to Kesha as his wife, but they’ve never actually tied the knot!” a source explains. Crazy, right?

“They’ve been together so long and have three children together that he always refers to Kesha as his wife, but they’ve never actually tied the knot!” a source explains. Crazy, right? Not cool, 2 Chainz — you gotta follow through.

It’s slightly confusing because the two have been calling each other “husband” and “wife” for a while now, but if this is a real proposal (some are saying 2 Chainz did this for media attention), it would be a great VH1 special or something like that.
