Kourtney broke the news on social media with two pictures of herself and Travis at a beach, surrounded by candles and red roses. The mother of three sported a flowy black dress, which was sleeveless, while her fiancé wore a black-and-white striped shirt and a pair of black pants.
The first photo showed the couple embracing and gazing into each other's eyes. The waves coming up to shore and the yellow and pink hues in the sky caused by the sunset filled the background of the shot.
The second slide showed a closer look at the pair, looking so in love than ever.
Kourtney wrote in the caption, “Forever," to which Travis echoed in the comments.
