Based on a collage Sarah posted on her Instagram congratulating the couple, it appears Ricky proposed to Willow with a beautiful diamond ring featuring a round center stone and halo.

It’s been an emotional week at the Palin household. The engagement news comes just two days after news surfaced of Track Palin, 28, getting arrested over the weekend on charges of domestic violence in relation to an incident that a source tells PEOPLE occurred at the Wasilla home of his parents’ Sarah and Todd Palin. The former Alaska governor was the one who called the police to report the incident.

Track was arraigned Sunday morning on three counts for felony burglary, misdemeanor reckless assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief for causing between $250 and $999 in property damage, according to online court records.

This isn’t the first time Track has come in contact with the law. In January 2016, he was arrested after being accused of assaulting his girlfriend and pointing a gun at her. He’s been serving two years of probation on a plea deal stemming from the arrest.
