She rose to fame alongside Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi as part of Jersey Shore’s infamous Team Meatball, but it seems Deena Cortese is now all grown up as she has just announced her engagement.

The former reality star took to Instagram yesterday to reveal that she is set to marry her longtime love, Christopher Buckner.

The 29-year-old’s first post as an engaged woman featured a collage of images which shows her ring, two glasses of celebratory champagne and the spouses-to-be kissing.

It is captioned: “I always knew I would spend the rest of my life with Christopher…But last night while we were walking on the Beach in Mexico he made it official!!  We’re engaged!!!!!!”

Hours later, Deena shared a second set of images offering fans a proper look at her new rock.

The post reads: “I felt like the other pictures didn’t show how beautiful the ring was…The pic on the left was me a little after he proposed after I was finished happy sobbing lol.”

“Christopher did such an amazing job picking me out the perfect ring…It fits my little hand perfectly…This all doesn’t feel real!!!!  I love you @cbuckner_ this weekend has been so amazing so far.”

Congrats to the happy couple!
