With a sincere, down-on-one-knee gesture, dancehall musician Vybz Kartel proposed to Sidem Öztürk, marking a significant milestone in their long-distance romance.

An important milestone in their unusual love story was reached when Kartel presented Öztürk with an engagement ring in a hotel room, leaving him speechless.

Before the proposal, Kartel showed his supporters how happy he was by flashing the engagement ring. He then used Instagram to consider their relationship.

“You were there when I needed you most and I’ll never leave you, baby,” he wrote, expressing deep appreciation for Öztürk’s consistent support, both through his legal battles and emotional struggles.

"We laughed together, we cried together, and now we celebrate together," Kartel continued, recalling how her calls and visits kept him grounded.

In 2015, Öztürk and Kartel first became acquainted when she, as she acknowledges, went to considerable measures to contact him by locating his social media accounts.

She was attracted to Kartel because of his charm in her life as well as his music. She said, "I found him very handsome… an obsession," calling him her "perfect match."

The couple's love has remained strong throughout Kartel's imprisonment, and they are now looking forward to their future together with an engagement ring serving as a symbol of their relationship.
