Stuck in the MiddlestarCerina Vincentis engaged!
The actress’ longtime boyfriend Mike Estes, whom she shares 10-month-old son Nicola with, popped the question while they were in Vincent’s hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada to visit her mom.
“It was truly a magical, holiday engagement story!” Vincent, 40, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
When that didn’t work, Estes devised another plan.
“My sister Angela was helping to get Mike and Nico and my dad and brother all lined up. … Mike dropped to a knee ‘on cheese’ and I was absolutely stunned!”
Vincent says “time slowed down” when Estes got down on one knee.

“I saw my son on his arm, my dad and my brother and my nephew behind him,” Vincent says. “Really, all the most important men in my life were a part of the moment and that was unbelievably meaningful to me.”
“He put the ring on my finger while I held our son in front of the Christmas tree,” Vincent continues.
“[We] looked at Christmas lights, and talked and laughed and cried.”
He was born at Whittier Hospital Medical Center in Whittier, California at 9:26 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4. He weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and measured 20 inches long.
“Love at first sight, yes, but truer and deeper than any words can describe,” she continues. “We feel so blessed to have a son and know a love like this.”
