During an appearance on the 'Bobby Bones Show' on Monday (local time), Shelton shared that he hid the ring in his truck.

The 'God's Country' singer recalled at the show, "I had the ring for a couple of weeks, maybe two and a half weeks.

"I kept thinking, 'Man, somebody's gonna hit the jackpot when I drop this think out of my truck. I wanted to keep it in there ... because I didn't know when I would have the exact right moment, but thank God I didn't lose the ring," continued Shelton.

The 'Boys 'round here' singer also revealed who was present for the special moment.
