During a recent performance in London, gay icon Kylie Minogue got her own show.

As part of her An Audience With Kylie television special, the singer stopped between songs for questions from the audience. But when he was called on, one man didn’t have a question for Minogue; instead, he popped the question to his partner.

After being chosen, he thanked the singer for giving his family a memorable moment but added, “This question isn’t for you. It’s to your superfan, Martin.”

“Martin, will you marry me?”

Martin, true believer that he is, turned to Minogue to ask her what he should say. She gave him an enthusiastic blessing to say yes.

“Has that just actually happened?” Minogue asked the cheering audience after the moment.

During a back-and-forth with the couple, they revealed that they had met at one of her previous concerts. Even more touched, Minogue came off stage to hug the men and their two children.

“Thank you so much for coming. And congratulations!”
