The couple got engaged while at Burning Man — her “favorite place in the world” — the model, 28, announced on Instagram Saturday.
“I’m a bit late for Burning Man pics and of course I didn’t touch my phone for 5 days and I don’t have a single pic but thanks to my Bff @jeromeduran he captured one of the best moments in my life!” shared Ribeiro, who is mom to 11-year-old son Alexandre.
“[Noah] surprised me at my fav place in the world and proposed ??,” she said. “And I couldn’t be happier! We are getting married guys??????????.”

In the photo, she and Noah, 34, lock in an embrace under a tent — seemingly after Ribeiro said “yes.” The model was ready for Burning Man in a mesh neon-green skirt and pasties to match.
Noah commented on Ribeiro’s post to tell her he always has her back.
“Seeing you smiling on the playa like that…. I will never forget,” he wrote. “I got your back always picanha. C toi ma femme [You are my wife] and I knew that from the minute we started dating. Jtaime tellement [I love you so much]????????.”
