I finally know what everyone means when they say, ‘You just know.’ ” The two became linked earlier this year and have kept their relationship private. The A Very Kacey Christmas singer was previously linked to musician Misa Arriaga. https://www.instagram.com/p/BOcfdlBlbQR/?taken-by=rustonkelly&hl=en Kelly also gushed about the engagement in an Instagram photo showing Musgraves’ ring-bearing finger. “I have never met a more incredible partner and woman,” he wrote. “Last night I became the luckiest, proudest and happiest man ever.

She noted that Kelly had her family decorate her childhood bedroom “in the most nostalgic and perfect Christmas decorations.” “I was bewildered and confused when I saw it all and turned around and the song ‘Two For the Road’ by Henry Mancini was playing,” Musgraves said. “He was on his knee with a baby pink velvet ring box and the sparkliest thing I’ve ever seen! It was so special.” Close
