Natalie Gulbis' body art has found a permanent buyer.
Golfweek.com is reporting that Gulbis, the 12-year LPGA veteran is engaged to former Yale quarterback Josh Rodarmel. The happy couple has not set a wedding date, but Gulbis said she it'll happen before the 2013 year is over.
"I'm 30 and I'm the happiest I've ever been," Gulbis said.
Gulbis met the 29-year-old Rodarmel a few years ago through her affiliation with Power Balance bracelets, a company Rodarmel co-founded with his brother Troy, Golfweek.com reported
"The best thing that ever happened to me was meeting Natalie," he told Golf World.
Golf.com reported that the two were able to keep their relationship out of the media spotlight, which was different than other relationships Gulbis had - one with PGA professional Dustin Johnson and another with former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Gulbis has won $4.7 million on the LPGA Tour during her career with one career win at the Evian Masters in 2007.
She is much more famous for her 2012 photo shoot in Sports Illustrated, in which Gulbis modeled adorning only body paint for the magazine's swimsuit issue.
According to Golf.com, "Gulbis has worked hard to bring attention on herself. In 2004, just prior to the U.S. Women's Open, she released a golf-and-swimsuit calendar that was provocative enough to draw a reaction from the USGA, which banned sales of the calendar at the event. Later came other branded media ventures, including The Natalie Gulbis Show, a now-defunct Golf Channel reality show, and a monthly advice column in FHM."
Gulbis also appeared in NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2009.
She also made news earlier this year, not by her choosing. In March, Gulbis was diagnosed with malaria after playing on the Tour's Asian swing. She missed the next six weeks while recovering.
