Backstreet Boys star Nick Carter engaged to be married

Heartthrob Nick Carter has revealed that he proposed to his girlfriend Lauren Kitt and she said yes.

Speaking to People magazine about his exciting new engagement, the 'I Want It That Way' superstar explained that he was incredibly nervous and struggled to build up the courage needed to pop the question:

"I had the ring in my pocket for two weeks. I was like, 'I don't want it anymore!' It was driving me insane. I just wanted to get it out of my hands and on to hers."

The 33-year-old Backstreet Boys member took 29-year-old Kitt, who is a fitness expert and aspiring actress, to Florida and they travelled by boat to an island although it wasn't initially smooth sailing:

"My boat was in such bad condition because I hadn't used it for, like, six years. It took me five days literally on my hands and knees, scraping up my body [to fix it,]. The engine wasn't complete yet but we still decided to go out."

"She said, 'Yes,' and I'm, like, 'I don't know what to do.' She said, 'You're supposed to put it on my finger.' So I did. I was in shock."
