"Forever and Ever," the model captioned an Instagram post announcing their engagement to the world.
The couple also shared photos from the special moment.
In one photo, Spencer and Millerd gaze lovingly into each other's eyes – the Santorini horizon fading into night behind them.
On her hand, a stunning pear-shaped diamond glittered with the flash of the camera.
A second photo showed off the moment Millerd popped the question.
Millerd, wearing all-white, knelt with a box of his hand as a smiling Spencer, wearing a red halter-neck, joined him on the floor to say, 'yes'.
Behind them, a dreamy table set just for two and a display of beautifully placed flowers and candles added even more romance to the Greek summer backdrop.
