'The Joy of My Life': NBA Star Kevin Love Gushes Over Engagement To Sports Illustrated Model Kate Bock
Love finally found his true love! NBA star Kevin Love revealed that he's engaged to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Bock on Sunday, January 31.
"'Souls tend to go back to who feels like home,'" he captioned his adorable Instagram photo of the two kissing while showing off Bock's new bling. "My Fiancé. The Joy of My Life."
Of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers athlete's NBA pals immediately rushed to the comment section to praise the good-looking couple — who began dating in 2016. "Congrats my brother!!! 🙏🏾💪🏾❤️👑," LeBron James wrote, while Tristan Thompson added: "Congrats brother 💪🏾💪🏾." Russell Westbrook's wife, Nina, wrote, "Congratulations you two!! ❤️ Very happy for you Kevin! 🤗," and Patrick Schwarzenegger commented: "LOVE YOU BOTH!!! Congrats!!"
Bock shared the same kissing photo of the duo — who were introduced through a photographer — along with candid photos from the proposal. "Well, this was the best birthday surprise I could have ever imagined," the blonde beauty wrote. "I couldn’t be happier to have been asked to be a Love by my love. 🤍🤍🤍 Heart bursting all day & night."

Besides her fiancé commenting, "Love 💍," Bock's model friends shared their excitement via her post. Olivia Culpo wrote, "Omg congrats beautiful !!!" Jasmine Sanders commented: "Congrats babe ❤️❤️❤️❤️So happy for you!!"
Love, 32, proposed to Bock while they were out for dinner celebrating her 33rd birthday. One day prior to his engagement post, Love shared a stunning shot of his fiancé and wrote: "Like fine wine. Happiest birthday Katie. Sending so much love your way. 🍷🍷🍷."
Love isn't the only one who has a way with words. The blonde beauty often offers a glimpse into her relationship with her handsome hunk. In September, Bock paid a touching tribute to her soon-to-be hubby for his birthday.
"Your humor makes me cry laugh regularly, your thoughtfulness is beyond anything I’ve ever known," the model captioned the photo of her hugging Love from behind. "Your generosity is without expectation, your work ethic is aspirational and your patience for teaching me rap lyrics is remarkable."
