As for the pregnancy announcement, the couple kept it simple and sweet. 

“Thankful for our baby 🤍,” Schmidt captioned another Instagram post, set to The Carpenters’ “They Long to Be (Close to You)." This time, he showed a video of von Turkovich standing in a sunny field with a cropped long-sleeved shirt — perfect for showing off her growing belly.

In June 2022, the “Confetti Falling” singer popped the question at Radio City Music Hall — the venue where they first met. Other Big Time Rush members and loved ones were present for the special moment. 

PEOPLE obtained exclusive photos from the proposal, which showed Schmidt on his knee placing a ring on a surprised von Turkovich’s hand. 

Afterwards, she shared a few behind the scenes photos from their big day in an Instagram carousel. 

“A few more sweet moments from this sweet day… Kendall promised me a long time ago that he wouldn’t propose to me on stage. He broke his promise just a little bit but I like this promise more,” she wrote. “On a stage but just in front of some friends and my sister @gabrielavt . Right where we met 10 years ago. Love you forever @kendallschmidt 💗.”
