“My biggest fear in the world happened tonight,” she said in the video that has amassed more than 200K likes. “My boyfriend asked me to be his wife tonight while I didn’t have my nails done.

“He begged me because he made a reservation at the bar we met at in Japan and I was lazy and I was like, ‘Baby, let’s just order some room service, let’s stay in the room, look at this beautiful view — let’s watch the view and stay in our pajamas.”

Krause tried to compromise by offering to order some “nice steaks,” but Testa said she preferred fries and fruits instead.

The influencer later went on to talk about how she couldn’t have asked “for a better outcome.”

“I have so much anxiety, I am so happy it happened in private where I could feel comfortable and just live in the moment with this beautiful view in my favorite city, in my favorite country,” she said.

She later gushed that Krause did “so amazing on this ring. Princess cut, that is so me. Gold, that is 100 percent me, with diamonds around the band. I can’t believe this man is so perfect.”

For Testa, her bodybuilder boyfriend is her ideal match, making her the “happiest woman alive right now.”

“We love each other so much. It just feels right,” she said. “We just love each other so unconditionally, we never fight.

“And when you know, you just know.”

Other influencers and fans sent their congratulations to the Australian social media star

One noticeable figure, Anna Paul, wrote, “Ahhhhh crying. This makes me so so so so happy. Congratulations.”

“When you naur you naur!” one person joked. “Congrats (:”

“You deserve this kinda love,” said influencer Kat Clark. “So happy for you xxx.”

“I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN A WEDDING DRESS,” gushed a user.

Another shared how she viewed Testa as an inspiration, saying, “as a bpd girl thank you for demonstrating that there can be light at the end of all the hurt and that the awful things that we often feel don’t have to consume us.”

Others, however, were more content to bring up the past.

“He looks so much like atis…” someone said.

Another added, “He looks like Anna Paul’s brother.”

One comment also read, “I’m shocked someone married this D List narcissist!”

The internet pair had been dating for approximately two hours before getting engaged

Testa and Krause met online back in 2022 and continued texting throughout 2023 when they finally met in person in Japan for the now 25-year-old’s birthday in March.

Their meeting came after Testa’s public split with Atis Paul, the brother of TikTok sensation Anna Paul, who was also the first to break his silence.

Paul told his Instagram followers that the pair “love each other so much and decided to be friends now.”

He added, “Everything is perfect between us. We both agree it’s better this way.”

Testa was initially less transparent about how she was feeling, merely mentioning that her fans’ support made her “so emotional” during an Instagram Q&A.

However, she did open up in an interview with White Fox After Hours last year.

“It was seriously hell — like I had never been through something so bad ever,” she said, adding that she hadn’t spoken in-depth about the breakup.

“No one’s allowed to say anything because it will open up a wound but it’s healed.”

Many people commented on Testa’s TikTok video that she was deserving of her happiness

I died a little inside when she said that her fiancé did "so amazing on this ring" and that her man is "so perfect" because he apparently chose an engagement ring that suits her (princess cut, gold, and diamonds around the band, apparently.) I'm sure she genuinely loves him, but it felt very weirdly icky that the engagement ring he chose was apparently one of the metrics by which she measures him. I also LOLed a little at "I have so much anxiety, I am so happy it happened in private" but yet she's an influencer who shares every single moment of her life online, including this moment - making it not private in the slightest.

It cracks me up to see clips of the "dramatic & tender" proposals on the "reality" shows (Bachelor, Bachelorette, etc). The completely surprised woman has NO idea what's about to happen (yuk, yuk) until the man takes a knee in front of her. Then, simultaneously with his proposal he's opening the ring box. & What does she do? Her eyes immediately lock on the ring, THEN she looks up at her beloved & says yes. They should keep the box closed & see what happens (except for the fact that it's all scripted). Wonder if the shows buy a boxfull of cheap, but sparkly, rings - or maybe a nice one but it has to be given back at the end of the show. Tesla's (or whatever her name is - imagine, with all those followers, I have no clue who she is or who she influences abt what) ring is nice - I'd wear it - but it's certainly not unique, not the 1st time I've seen pretty much that same ring. I can see she's certainly is an influencer to be reckoned with - she gushes abt the whole experience & her 10 gazillion followers happily gush right back. Such a thrill to see this on BP - NOT.

Idk if I agree with how u feel on this one. I cannot lie, i skimmed the article so taje what im saying with a grain of salt but i didn't interpret it as her saying he was perfect BECAUSE of the ring. But perfect because he knew her really well and knows what she likes and finds pretty. And it is private as in not in front of a live audience, which at least for me would be very different and it feels a little nit picky- not meant to be personally im just in an argumentitive mood ig/j

"For Testa, her bodybuilder boyfriend..." Bodybuilder? He needs to check the blueprints because that building is a damned odd shape.

I thought it was just me. Weirdly shaped breast implants? He's got large upper arms but there isn't much muscle definition - doesn't look particularly toned - maybe that big vein in his arm is supposed to impress but I'm 5'3", 112 lbs, & have a visible vein on both arms - & certainly don't do anything that could be called body building. On to the abs: don't see anything impressive there. It's so obvious in pics of models, athletes, etc (both men & women) whether a person has a flat abdomen because they work out (not the extreme body building that looks gross) or because they're suckin' it in, which this guy is doing. But I wanta know what kind of workout routine does that to your boobs. Before anybody says I'm objectifying him by discussing his body features - yeah. Men have done it probably since the Garden of Eden - women learned it from them, I suppose.

Imagine proposing to someone and all they do is complain about it, and over something ridiculous like nails? She shouldn’t get married until she grows up.

“The internet pair had been dating for approximately two hours before getting engaged” - typo, I assume, but if it were true, it - oddly? - wouldn’t be all that shocking in the world of influencers 🫤

I went back to check on that (altho it wouldn't have been surprising if it really was 2 hours). Met online on 2022, chatted thru 2023, & actually met in person in March 2024 - that's abt 2 yrs.

The only thing I read was the blurb, but if her worst fear was her BF proposing when her nails aren't done maybe she should just kill herself to avoid whatever other horrors the world has in store for her. Influencers certainly aren't an endangered species, so we can afford to lose few.

Okay, there have been a fair # of posts on BP accusing a woman in the story of being a gold-digger. So, does that term come to mind here? A body builder (is that an actual paying job?) marrying an apparently successful "influencer"? (How does she earn all that $? Product placement, endorsements?)

I really needed a good laugh today and this was it.....starting with the picture at the top, the melodrama over the nails, and right through the rest of the self-centered gushing. IS there a "job" more pathetic than being an influencer? Do you think their mothers are proud of them?
