Derek Jeter has popped the question to girlfriend Hannah Davis on Sunday, according to reports. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model's answer was yes -- officially making Jeter an engaged man and effectively taking him off the market.

Page Six reports that the information came from a source close to the former baseball player who relayed the exciting news of the engagement. According to the site, the couple have been dating for three years on and off, and on their third anniversary, Jeter decided to make it official. The source reveals that Jeter had been preparing for that moment for a while and even took the traditional approach by asking her parents for her hand in marriage.

In a previously reported Page Six article Jeter acknowledged how he would one day settle down butdidn't have the time during his tenure as a New York Yankee.

"I was too selfish to be able to juggle a family and kids," Jeter said to sports memorabilia dealer Brandon Steinerduring during an interview, as reported by Page Six. "But I look forward to it happening. I just know that I . . . couldn't have done it while I was playing."

Davis is a Sports Illustrated model who has shared special moments with her beau on her Instagram page. The two appeared at the Met Gala together as shown on Instagram. Davis described the post below as her "favorite pic".

According to E Online, there is a 16-year age difference between the two, but that doesn't stop Jeter, 41, and Davis, 25, from being very much in love. Although there is no set wedding date as of yet, site sources report that the two are eager to start the next chapter of their lives together.

Jeter retired from Major League Baseball in 2014.
