Nurk announced the happy news on TikTok and Instagram, sharing a video of her fiancé's surprise beach proposal. She wrote over the TikTok clip, "POV [point of view]. Your boyfriend wakes you from your nap and tells you to dress all in white." Footage shows the couple riding in a small boat to a secluded beach, where Lebraut had set up a romantic scene with white candles and flower flower arrangements in the sand. As Nurk seemingly caught on to what was happening, the two embraced and then Lebraut got down on one knee and presented Nurk with a red ring box. Following the private moment, a small boat arrived carrying a group of their loved ones, who joined the couple on the beach for a celebration. When night fell, Nurk, Lebraut and their guests lit floating lanterns and released them into the sky. The video ends with the couple hugging as everyone cheered loudly. Nurk captioned the TikTok video simply, "Always you!" Lebraut replied to his new fiancée's post, "Love of my life!"

The pair confirmed their split in May 2023 after 10 months of dating. In a post on his Instagram Stories, Oppenheim wrote, "While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome." "We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another,” he continued. "We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship."
