‘NSYNC member Lance Bass is engaged to his artist boyfriend Michael Turchin.
Just one week after he and his former band members took the stage with Justin Timberlake at the MTV Video Music Awards, Bass popped the question to Michael.
Lance revealing the news on Instagram and captioned the photo, “He said YES!! Love this man.”
It was a big week for the musician in more ways than one. He tweeted earlier in the week, “For the first time ever I got to perform with ‘NSYNC as an out entertainer and was thinking of this. Happiest guy in the world.”
His pal and Sirius XM Dirty Pop co-host Drew Pokorny told PEOPLE magazine that the proposal took place in New Orleans, where the couple were spending the holiday weekend.
Pokorny said, “They’re so great together. I’m completely thrilled for them. Lance had his heart set on asking Michael here in New Orleans and it gave them a chance to celebrate with some of their closest friends from Mississippi and Los Angeles who came in for the weekend.”
Bass admitted during an interview two years ago, “I’m a Southerner, I dream of having the family and the kids, and the parents want grandkids – that’s all they care about, give me some grandbabies.”
Lance and Michael have been in a relationship since 2011. Congratulations guys, we wish you the best!
