*The Super Bowl-winning NFL star boyfriend of Taraji P. Henson is now her fiancé!

After quietly dating for two years, Kelvin Hayden popped the question to his actress boo on Mother’s Day…and the “Empire” star took to Instagram with her answer.

“I said yes y’all!!!” the D.C. native wrote next to a photo of her new diamond.

In the background, a dessert plate with cake and chocolate covered strawberries had a message that read, “Congratulations.”

“He started with the Cartier love bracelet BUT that was my #Mothersday gift and then he dropped to his knee and I almost passed out!!!,” continued Henson on Instagram. Adding several emojis, Henson wrote, “?????#sheisofficiallyoffthemarket and she is sooooooooooooo HAPPY!!!!!! #GODIS ????.”

The previous day Kelvin had treated Taraji to matching gold bracelets, and she shared a picture of them holding hands while wearing them on Instagram with the caption, “#ForeverKindaLove.”

#ForeverKindaLove ???

Henson, 47, was first linked to the 34-year-old former Indiana Colts player in December 2015, after they were spotted holding hands on the beach while on vacation in Florida, but she didn’t confirm the relationship until December (17).

“I’m happy in my personal life. Finally, it has happened to me!” she told Essence’s Yes, Girl! podcast. “You know, I’m not the type to blast my personal business, but you know, I think that it’s important for people to know that I’m happy. I’m very, very happy. I just am. We’ve been together for two years. And no one would really know that because I don’t blast my info like that but I’m very happy.”

Congrats to the happy couple!
