Cummins, 26, got down on one knee during a romantic picnic on a farm, sharing photos of the moment to Instagram on Wednesday.
'My forever person. I am the happiest girl in the world right now!!' Ms Boston wrote.
The interior designer, who was born in England and runs an online store selling luxury home furnishings, has been dating Cummins for several years.
She regularly posts photos of their lavish overseas jaunts, from skiing in Switzerland to lounging by pools in Dubai and Ibiza.
Ms Boston has regularly been seen in the stands cheering on Cummins as he makes his mark as one of Australia's most talented fast bowlers.

'The boys in the team are great but also my family and friends. I still play cricket because I love it. I am really fortunate and grateful for everything that has happened.'
Despite the hefty salary, the bowler said he was in it for the love of the game.
'I still play cricket because I love it and love being around everyone and everything that comes with it. So yeah, just really fortunate and grateful for everything that's happened but hopefully, it doesn't change me,' he said.
