NBA shooting guard Nick Young is officially off the market.

On Christmas Day, Young asked his longtime girlfriend, Keonna Green, to marry him, surrounded by their three children, Nick Jr., Navi and Nyce, who was born this summer, according to CNN. The family all wore matching PJs.

“Know it’s been way overdue, baby,” Young tells Green as he gets down on one knee. “I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

After she said yes, Nick can be heard cheering as he put the enormous rock on her finger. Young then told Nick, Jr. “We did it, son!!”

“Merry Christmas…. @keonnanecole Said Yes ?!!!!!Aye Christmas to remember for the young family @lilswaggy1 @navibaby_ and Nyce’s.”

Young, who is also known as “Swaggy P,” added: “It’s ova for Swaggy ????”

Shabazz Muhammad responded to the post: “Yessir fam that’s lit. #day1s”

And Gilbert Arenas added that he was throwing the bachelor party.

Green and Young have dated since high school and have had an on-again, off-again relationship for years. In 2016, Young was previously engaged to Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, but she ended the relationship after Young reportedly cheated with Green. Months after Young and Azalea broke up, Green delivered the couple’s second child.

Azalea tweeted at the time that she was blindsided by the news.

“I have never even been told by Nick that his baby mother is pregnant. This is just like a second shot to the chest. And I feel like I don’t even know who the hell it is I’ve been loving all this time.”

Young hasn’t played in the NBA in over a year. He last played for the Denver Nuggets, before he was waived. According to Complex, Young is considering retiring.
