The 25-year-old singer revealed he caught shoe designer McCaffrey off-guard with his proposal as she planned to throw him a surprise birthday party in November, but he decided to turn the tables on her and transformed it into an engagement party, reported Contactmusic.
"It was like a military operation to plan the proposal. I couldn't even tell the other boys in the band in case they blew the surprise," Kaneswaran said.
"I said to her, 'I wanted a present I would always remember this year by - for you to be my wife.' I'd bought the ring months before I'd been trying to figure out the right time. I love her, I love every bit of her," he added.
McCaffrey and Kaneswaran have been dating for the past six years.
Kaneswaran is not the first member of The Wanted to be engaged - his bandmate Max George was previously set to wed British actress Michelle Keegan, but the couple split in 2012.
