Singer Normani, 28, and new Pittsburgh Steeler DeKaylin “DK” Metcalf, 27, are engaged (per Billboard.)

The wide receiver announced the happy news to reporters at a press conference following his recent trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Stealers. Metcalf gestured to Normani (off-camera) to encourage her to show off her new engagement ring, saying “Hold that rock up, baby.”  

Metcalf later shared that he popped the question one day prior, while both of their families were together in Houston. “It was my sister’s spring break and just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring.”  Metcalf added he tried to propose last year, but “she’s a singer and her work conflicted with the schedule,” so he “started sending her flowers with a story, and then the last letter on the flower was ‘Will you marry me?’ And she said yes.”

Normani and DK first sparked dating rumors in summer 2023; the couple were set up by Metcalf’s former teammate, QB Russell Wilson, and his famous wife, Ciara.  Ciara wrote on TikTik with a screenshot of the couple revealing their engagement over a video chat: “Love was truly in the air! Now y’all gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news!”
