Fashion designer and icon, Marc Jacobs is officially engaged to his partner, Char DeFrancesco after a beautiful and epic proposal. The proposal happened via a flash mob at a Chipotle in New York City. The entire proposal and flashmob was captured on camera and uploaded to Instagram for everyone to see. 

The mob took over a New York Chipotle and danced to Prince's 'Kiss'. The dance stopped when Jacobs went down on one knee and popped the question to his partner. The proposal is inaudible in the video taken but a very happy DeFrancesco can be seen nodding his head and the two embracing. 

The video clip was uploaded with the following caption, "And, this happened...'Charly Defrancesco will you marry me'? #flashmobatchipotle #moves THANK YOU, everyone, for making this happen video @plural_nyc @laurengerrie @seandon212@1.800.newbold," Jacobs wrote in a caption on the video. "And to my Ride or Die fiancé @chardefrancesco I LOVE YOU❤️"

Before the proposal and the video, Jacobs had posted a special birthday message for his boyfriend which described him as the love of his life. 

Jacobs has been with candle-maker Char for around two years. Their engagement announcement comes very close to their birthdays with Marc Jacobs birthday coming up on April 9. Marc Jacobs had previously dated porn star Harry Louis but the two split up in the year 2013. 

The couple often travels together and recently attended several big fashion events in France and London before returning to attend fragrance brand Diptyque's pop-up launch which took place in Soho. The couple did not let the jet lag get to them and were seen looking very smart and stylish as they attended the event together. 

Both men are happy together and it is highly possible that there could be wedding bells ringing sooner than later.
