Vocal sensation and actress Jennifer Hudson has revealed that she proposed to her soon-to-be husband on his birthday back in September, 2008. 

The star, who is now an ambassador for weight loss brand Weight Watchers, sat down with the hosts of popular U.S. chat show The Talk on Monday, January 16 and opened up about the moment she became engaged to David Otunga:

"He proposed to me on my birthday and he would complain that he didn't have an engagement ring. (He would say,) 'You have a ring, but how are they going to know I'm taken?'"

"So I had a ring made and then I gave it to him as his birthday gift on his birthday (in April, 2009) and the way that I gave it to him was like, 'Now will you marry me!' So I kind of proposed to him too."

The couple are planning to tie the knot this year although neither of them have hinted at any dates yet.
