The renowned content creator with more than 9 million followers announced his engagement to his pregnant girlfriend Leah Black via an Instagram Reel on New Year's Eve. "Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you & raise our son Thiago @itsleahblack 💍," he captioned his proposal video.
In the beginning of the video, which takes place inside of a vintage photo booth, Black asks Eslava, "What do you got going on?" as he rummages in a black bag. With a smile, he pulls out what appears to be a Cartier ring box.
"Will you marry me?" Eslava, 32, asks his girlfriend, whose appears to be in disbelief.
When Eslava opens the red box to reveal a sparkling diamond ring, Black looks him directly in the eyes and asks, "Is this a joke?" He responds "No," while still smiling and shaking his head, but Black isn't convinced.
She asks the content creator one more time to ensure he's being sincere with the gesture. Eslava repeatedly reassures his girlfriend that his proposal is genuine by saying, "No baby, it's not a joke."
Black begins smiling and laughing as she realizes the special moment is the real deal. "Yes!" Black says as Eslava proposes again. "Yeah!"
The couple, who matched in black outfits, then shared several sweet kisses.
The photo booth appeared to capture the magical moment on film, as Eslava shared a black and white snapshot of their engagement kiss on his Instagram Story. "She said yes 💍," he wrote.
