Two nights ago, fashion designer, Marc Jacobs shared a video of himself dropping down on one knee and asking boyfriend, Charly Defrancesco to be his husband.
Jacobs had a flashmob of dancers perform to Prince’s “Kiss” as the couple entered the restaurant in New York. As the dancers finished up, 54-year old Jacobs caught Defrancesco off guard by popping the question.
“And this happened… ‘Charly Defranscesco will you marry me? Thank you everyone for making this happen… and to my ride or die fiancé @CharlDefrancesco I love you” Jacobs captioned the video.
The proposal also happened to fall on Defrancesco’s birthday.
