Normani & DK Metcalf Are Engaged

Normani, 28, and DK Metcalf are getting married, and we love that for her. The self-proclaimed “lover girl” got engaged in an intimate family moment, thoughtfully orchestrated by her bae, DeKaylin Zecharius.

Not only did DK plan every detail, but he also made sure to include the people who matter most. He even shared the big news during a major moment in his football career.

We’re rooting for them—keep scrolling for all the details on the newly engaged couple (and to find out who played matchmaker).

DK Metcalf & Normani get engaged in Houston

DK’s proposal to Normani was all about intention. Leading up to the big moment, he sent her flowers—each with a story. He explained, “The last letter on the flower was ‘Will you marry?’ And she said yes.”

Both of their families were there to witness the proposal. Normani shared that she was completely surprised. DK even timed it with his sister’s spring break, making it clear that family is a priority for the couple.

DK had been ready to propose for a while but wanted to be mindful of Normani’s career. “I had wanted to propose to Normani since last year. But she’s a singer, and, you know, her work kind of conflicts with the schedule. So, I wanted to take an approach where a schedule couldn’t matter,” he said.

‘Hold that rock up, baby!: DK Metcalf announces his engagement to Normani at an NFL press conference

DK didn’t just share his engagement news in any setting—he announced it during his press conference about being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He took a moment to thank Normani for her support, smiling ear to ear.

“Hold that rock up, baby!” he said to the media. She happily flashed her stunning diamond.

We love that he used a professional milestone to highlight a deeply personal one, too.

Who are the real MVPs of this love story? Ciara & Russell Wilson

The real MVPs of this love story are Ciara and Russell Wilson. Before Normani and DK became couple goals, they were introduced by Ciara and Russ in 2022.

By 2023, Normani and DK went public but kept their relationship mostly private. Now, two years later, we’re witnessing another beautiful Black love story, thanks to Ciara and Russ playing Cupid.

So, at this point, if we’re still single and looking for love, we might need to ask Ciara to pray for us, too.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
