Kyle Boller and Carrie Prejean

Former beauty queen Carrie Prejean is engaged to St. Louis Rams quarterback Kyle Boller. The former Miss California USA, 22, got engaged to NFL quarterback Kyle Boller, 28, over the weekend, E! News confirmed on Sunday. The engagement happened on Saturday in Prejean’s hometown of San Diego, Calif. Her mother, Francine Coppola, confirmed the news and said that Boller, who plays for the St. Louis Rams, presented Prejean with a 5-carat diamond ring. The two began dating last July.

The controversial beauty queen drew attention nationwide for an answer she gave during the 2009 Miss USA pageant, in which she stated her belief that marriage should be solely defined as a union between a man and a woman. Boller has been with Prejean during her controversial rise to fame over anti-same-sex marriage lobbying, topless photos and alleged self-pleasuring sex tapes.
