Kaley Cuoco has been dating tennis player Ryan Sweeting for only 3 months but she’s already convinced he’s the one she wants to grow old with. They announced their engagement a short while ago, with Kaley now talking about the surprise with Entertainment Tonight.

From their respective Twitter feeds, it’s not hard to see that the two were madly in love and very open about it even before Ryan popped the question, so seeing him start a fight surprised Kaley in the most unpleasant way possible.

However, it was part of a plan because Ryan had set out to throw her off before he could ask for her hand in marriage.

“[Ryan] actually started a little fight with me and threw me off. I was like, ‘Oh my God, things aren't great.’ He surprised me at the end of the night… [when] he popped the ring out. It was amazing,” the “Big Bang Theory” actress says for the e-zine.

She said yes because she’d been waiting for this moment since she first started dating him. It was as if they instantly clicked and knew would be spending their life together.

“From day one I just knew immediately and it's been magic. We have all the same family friends. We grew up with the same people, we just never met,” Cuoco says.

“I kind of feel that I've known him my whole life. I know that it seems a little crazy on paper, but it's what works for us,” she adds.

They first bonded over a common love of tennis, because Kaley also played from a young age until her teenage years, when she had to stop because she wanted to pursue a career in modeling.

As for the engagement ring, E! News says it’s a Red C Jewels bauble of 2.5 carats, consisting of a large square-cut rock and smaller ones surrounding it.

Ryan is said to have paid $65,000 (€48,069) for it.
