The 36-year-old Modano, who is a center for the Dallas Stars, had the ring he bought redesigned three times before proposing because he was nervous about having it "just right," the magazine said.
Ford also told Us Weekly that the couple, who met at an event for Modano's charitable foundation, have been dating on and off for more than four years in a mostly long-distance relationship.
Ford and Modano plan to marry after the hockey season ends, the report said.
