Afterwards, Shepard brought Iman to her surprise birthday bash at SPIN New York, US Weekly reports, where they also shared a toast of the limited-edition Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rose x Public School magnums of Champagne for their engagement.
The happy couple celebrated with friends and family, including Shepard's teammates, Odell Beckham Jr., Tavarres King, Roger Lewis Jr., Travis Rudolph, Donte Deayon and Brad Wing.
Sports Illustrated's Damaris Lewis and Victora Secret's Maria Borges were also spotted in Iman's surprise birthday bash.
Shepard and Iman have been dating over a year before getting engaged. The two first met in November 2016 at the birthday party of Victor Cruz, a former New York Giants player.
In an interview with PEOPLE, the couple revealed that they prefer having low-key dates at the Cheesecake Factory.
"We live at the Cheesecake Factory, for real," Iman revealed, adding that their regular set menu on their dates are "Salmon for him, spinach dip for me, and some type of pasta."
Iman added that they always end the date with two different cheesecakes because of their difference in tastes. However, Shepard was quick to say that Iman had quite the cravings.
Details of Iman and Shepard's wedding are yet to be confirmed.
