Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook are engaged.

Cook posted a video on his Instagram account Thursday of a tearful Cuoco flashing a diamond ring on her finger.

Cuoco was shouting “we’re engaged” before officially accepting Cook’s proposal with a loud “Yes.” Thursday also happened to be Cuoco’s 32nd birthday.

“Well after nearly two years I finally got up the courage to ask her to marry me,” Cook’s post began.

He added: “This is the best night of my life and I think the video shows it is the best night for Kaley as well… she said yes!”
