The 40-year-old gave People a sneak peek at the premiere episode, in which she ‘was very surprised’ when Carter, 40, proposed on a private island, while celebrating their February birthdays.

She originally thought he was going to pop the question on their one-year anniversary in December: ‘When it didn’t happen, I didn’t say anything but I was a little bummed.’

Paris admitted she dropped some hints, but her future groom told her: ‘When I do ask you, it’s going to be something even more amazing than this, so you’ll see soon.’ 

She recalled that ‘he got down on one knee’ as soon as they got to beach, after he told her to get dressed up so they could take some photos together.
