Supermodel Niki Taylor Engaged

Supermodel Niki Taylor, 31, is engaged to Burney Lamar, 26, a NASCAR Busch Series Driver. Lamar got down on one knee at Taylor’s parents’ house in Florida, on September 15 and asked for her hand. They plan to wed early next year. Taylor's manager Lou Taylor confirms the engagement.

The couple met in January 06 at a charity event. Niki said: "I looked at Burney and said to myself, 'This is the guy I'm going to marry.'" The ring is a custom-made 2-carat oval diamond in an antique setting, designed by Jerry Lindsey of Brentwood, Tennessee.

Taylor suffered a near-fatal car accident in 2001. After enduring over 41 surgeries, she has fully recovered and now owns a Nashville-area boutique called Abbie + Jesse's. She has twin boys, Jake and Hunter, age 11, with her ex-husband of two years, Matt Martinez, whom she divorced in 1996. Taylor also dated country music star Keith Urban on and off in 2002 and 2003. Urban married actress Nicole Kidman this past June.
