AceShowbiz - Mark Ballas is engaged. The "Dancing with the Stars" pro dancer has popped the big question to BC Jean with whom he formed a duo under the moniker Alexander Jean. He proposed to his girlfriend the day before Thanksgiving at their home in Los Angeles.
The 29-year-old dancer whose real name is Mark Alexander Ballas, Jr. decorated the house with vintage rugs and posters of Jean's favorite bands to make it feel like Woodstock. He also lined the driveway with rose and violet petals in honor of their song "Roses and Violets."
"When she got in there I froze," he told Access Hollywood. "My heart was pounding. I was cool as a cucumber all day. I've been on stages my whole life, and when she walked in the room I thought, 'Whoa, here we go.' So we kind of just held each other for a minute, and then I did the [one-knee] drop, I popped the question, she said yes."
"Everything went to plan and the way the house was decorated - it was just absolutely incredible," he added. "After she said yes, I said, 'I have one more surprise for you,' and I yelled out down the hallway then all of a sudden, she heard a load of yells back and all our best friends [and] family -- they were all hiding upstairs in our bedroom and she had no idea."
