“Oh I forgot the rest,” Smart wrote. “Time for me to leave the single life. She said YES!!! (Whew)”

On his Instagram, Smart posted the full video of the proposal. In the video Will Smith is shown wishing the couple a Merry Christmas and then saying “Your not going to end this Christmas empty handed.”
