Metallica frontman James Hetfield got engaged to Adriana Gillett.
On Sunday, his girlfriend of over two years took to Instagram to share photos from the rock star's romantic underwater proposal while they were scuba diving with whale sharks.
In one underwater photo, the 62-year-old musician could be seen holding up a handwritten note alongside his now-fiancée showing off the ring box.
The journalist-turned-fashion designer, who is 16 years his junior, called it 'the BEST birthday trip surprise' in her caption.
This comes just weeks after Hetfield and his bandmates — Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo — announced in .
'Swimming with whale sharks on Friday the 13th with the most unique, special, and romantic proposal a Pisces could ever imagine,' she continued.

Throughout her caption she sprinkled a bevy of fitting emojis, including a diamond ring, an aqua blue heart as well as a whale and a shark.
'In a sea full of fish, we caught each other,' she added. 'Thank you God for putting us together.'
While Hetfield does not have a personal Instagram account, the official Metallica account also shared the exciting news alongside the same photo and the caption: 'She said yes!'
In the fall, the heavy metal group will begin a Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, extending into next year.
Their sold-out residency will start on October 1 later this year and continue until March 13, 2027.
