Zac Brown – the founder, frontman, and lead vocalist of the Zac Brown Band – is engaged to model and actress Kelly Yazdi, Fox News Digital can confirm.
Brown, 44, reportedly proposed to Yazdi, 31, "a while ago" while the couple was on vacation in Hawaii. A source shared with People magazine that the proposal was "very intimate and the couple has kept it very private."
Although the exact length of the country star and Yazdi's relationship is unclear, the "Hawaii Five-O" actress accompanied the Zac Brown Band on tour for their latest album, "The Comeback."
In July, the Zac Brown Band uploaded a video for Brown's birthday, where Yazdi was seen with a ring on her engagement finger.

"We feel blessed to be on such an incredible journey in life and sometimes the journey begins to lead in different directions. It is with deep love and respect that we announce we are separating as a couple," the former couple told People in a joint statement at the time.
