THE PROPOSAL

The crowd roared behind them as the excited 29-year-old said: "You've been holding me down when I was going through a lot. You're the realest, and I just love you to death. Would you want to be my wife?"

After Royale said she would marry him amid tears, the rapper slipped a massive engagement ring on her finger as the crowd went wild with screams at the 107.5 WGCI Big Jam event.

Durk then embraced her before she proudly flashed the massive diamond to the audience. According to the jeweler, Izzy A. Luxury, the ring is a GIA 10 carat Oval shape F VVS center stone surrounded by 30 pointer emerald cuts.

PROUD FATHER OF SIX

The couple has dated for four years and shares a daughter Willow Banks, but Durk is already a father to a large brood from his many previous failed relationships.

The rapper had his first baby, Angelo Banks, at only 17. He shares her with his then-girlfriend Nicole Covone, who he began dating in 2008.

In 2013, the couple welcomed their second baby together. Bella Banks was born shortly before the couple called it quits and went separate ways.

A few months after welcoming his second child, he fathered his third, Zayden Banks. The identity of his mother, however, remains unknown.

His fourth child is Du'mier, whose mother is also unidentified. The "Should've Ducked" rapper later welcomed his fifth child, Skyler Banks. Though it is unproven, sources say Skyler's mother is Tameka Kute. She was known to be Durk's longtime friend back in the day.

Durk's youngest baby is Willow Banks, who he shares with now fiancée, Royale. They began dating in 2018 and welcomed their baby in 2018.
