According to TyC Sports, the two have been in a relationship since 2015 and are featuring for their country in the second Olympics, having participated at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

The proposal is likely a good farewell for the female star, who returned to the hockey team for one last adventure at the Olympics. The prospect of tying the knot soon could be her farewell.

Pablito, as he is fondly referred to, shared the video on his Instagram page, claiming her happiness is complete after the woman of her life said yes to him.

"The woman of my life gave me the yes in the dream place where everything come from and where we fought so much to be. Happiness is total, thank you so much friends and few accomplices for making this special and being able to keep this forever. Paris is always a good idea,” he wrote.
