Canadian comedian Russell Peters popped the question to girlfriend, Ruzanna, and shared the news exclusively with ET Canada.

“Possibly, that may have happened, yeah,” Peters said when asked if he got down on one knee.

Peters wasn’t shy about giving details about the ring or how the engagement played out.

“I was naked. Just about to go to bed and I just got on both knees because one knee hurt,” Peters said while laughing.

He revealed that Toronto jeweler Mark Lash made the gigantic ring. “It’s a 4.25 carat diamond with four lobster claws holding the diamond in place because [Ruzanna] and I are big Friends fans and there’s that whole thing that lobsters mate forever.”
