In a heartwarming moment at the Paris Olympics, Alessia Maurelli, the captain of Italy's rhythmic gymnastics team, experienced a double celebration.

After securing a bronze medal with her team, Maurelli was surprised by her boyfriend, Massimo Bertelloni, who proposed to her on the sidelines.

Bertelloni, a 27-year-old actor and model from Tuscany, knelt down and presented an engagement ring, to which Maurelli joyfully responded with a "Yes.

" The couple, who have been together for two years, often share their adventures on social media.

Maurelli expressed her excitement, stating she was overwhelmed by the surprise proposal.

The Italian team, known as the "Farfalle," celebrated their third Olympic bronze, having previously won in London and Tokyo.
