Contrary to popular belief, romance is not dead. Bear Grylls just took all of it.

The survivalist and reality star revealed his unique proposal to his wife of 14 years on an upcoming episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories.

The tale goes something like this: Grylls and then-girlfriend Shara Cannings Knight were skinny dipping in the Atlantic Ocean when the adventurer attempted to propose.

"I pulled out the ring from my butt cheeks," Grylls said, according to The Daily Mail. "She was standing there going 'what are you doing?'... A massive Atlantic roller came in and I went, 'will you' -- and it went --- took me up the beach."

Holding his butt ring and covered in seaweed, Grylls said he then tried again. His girlfriend said yes -- and the rest is history.

The couple was married in 2000, and the two have three sons.
