Brink has much to celebrate lately, following her latest SI Swimsuit announcement, career success and recent engagement to fiancé Ben Felter on Sept. 30.

The WNBA star previously told PEOPLE that Felter popped the question at the Shangri-La Paris Hotel after she attended the Balenciaga show. "I found out I was going to Paris about a month before to go to the Balenciaga show and they were going to dress me,” she said at the time. 

On Oct. 1, the WNBA star posted a photo of the pair after the surprise proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram, writing, "Yes in every lifetime 🤍♾️.”
