Country star Jason Aldean is engaged to girlfriend Brittany Kerr.

The Big Green Tractor hitmaker hit the headlines in 2012, when pictures of him kissing the former American Idol contestant appeared online while he was sill married to his high school sweetheart Jessica Ussery.

Aldean attempted to brush off the fling as an ill-advised smooch during a drunken night out and fought to keep his marriage on track, but he filed for divorce in April, 2013, and the singer and Kerr made their red carpet debut as a couple at the CMT Music Awards in June (14).

Now the couple is looking to take the next big step in its relationship after Aldean popped the question to Kerr during a visit to the San Diego Zoo in California on Tuesday (23Sep14).

His representative has since confirmed the happy news to People.com.
