The Fancy hitmaker became engaged to basketball player Nick Young in June (15) after he presented her with a ring in front of friends and family at his 30th birthday party in Los Angeles.

Azalea has now revealed the couple talked about marriage last year (14) and she spent months waiting to be asked.

She tells News.com.au, "It wasn't spontaneous... Well, I didn't know he would ask that day but we'd been speaking about it a lot - about getting married. I had a feeling because I know Nick's personality and I know he really loves family and friends and I thought if he were to propose it would probably be at something like that (a party) where he was with all his friends or all his family.

"So since Christmas, any big event that came up, I was holding my breath wondering every time, 'Will this be the time?'"
