Willa Ford Engaged to NHL Player

Los Angeles (E! Online) -

Willa Ford doesn't wanna be bad anymore—she wants to be married.

The pop star confirmed to E! News' Samantha Harris that she had accepted a proposal from Dallas Stars player Mike Modano, her on-again, off-again boyfriend of more than four years.

Ford, 25, showed off her diamond sparkler at the Arby's Action Sports Awards in Los Angeles Thursday, where she told Access Hollywood that Modano, 36, popped the question in bed.

"We were out to dinner the other night, and I think he had [the ring] with him the entire night," she said.

"He was really nervous. Then, right before we went to sleep, he asked me, and I said yes."

The proposal comes on the heels of reports that Ford was romantically involved with her Dancing with the Stars partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

"Everybody thought it was going to be Maks!" Ford said to Extra of her engagement.

The duo was eliminated from Dancing in October after the fifth week of competition. Shortly thereafter, Ford said in an ABC interview that they were "not an official couple," while Chmerkovskiy posted on his Website that they were "very close friends."

"I really like her, and we are having a great time together. If you don't mind, I would like to leave it at that," Chmerkovskiy wrote.

The fleet-footed twosome was due to reunite for the Dancing with the Stars tour later this month, but Chmerkovskiy was forced to pull out for personal reasons, and Ford opted not to participate without him.

Instead, the singer is preparing to head into the studio to work on her next album, which is due out next summer.

She and Modano plan to wed at the conclusion of his hockey season.
