AceShowbiz - Duane Martin went above and beyond to propose to his girlfriend, Ashley Marie Jones. The actor, who portrays Detective Ben Baines on "L.A.'s Finest", popped the big question when taking his now-fiancee on a helicopter ride.
The 58-year-old announced the couple's engagement on Saturday, February 3, by sharing a compilation video of the model in different settings. They included modeling shoots, sailing on a boat, and attending concerts by Smokey Robinson and Beyonce Knowles.
In the caption, Duane wrote, "She said YES [ring and red heart emoji] Meet my fiancee. God don't make people like her in 3s." He went on to gush, "She's rare. She's a heart opener. Her spirit is cherry. I'm hugging gratitude tight."
Ashley, meanwhile, took to her own page to give fans a glimpse at the sweet proposal. In the clip, Ashley looked shocked and excited at the same time as the "All of Us" alum got down on one knee.
"This moment is surreal... Wow, 2.2.24. A birthday surprise! Y'all, I'm a fiancee!!!" she exclaimed in the accompanying message. "To such an amazing man. I value our connection; it's at high altitude, high frequency, and filled with lots of laughter @duane_martin."
Duane was previously married to actress Tisha Campbell for over two decades. The former couple, who shares 22-year-old Xen Martin and 14-year-old Ezekiel Czar Martin together, confirmed their split in 2018.
After a two-year divorce process, Tisha dropped "Martin" from her last name. "Ok, so I just got my divorce decree. I know that took forever, and I just went to the Social Security office, and I changed my name back to Tisha Campbell," she announced on Instagram at the time. "On my dad's birthday. Nonetheless."
