Singer Normani has officially announced her engagement to NFL star DK Metcalf, sending fans into a frenzy. The couple revealed the exciting news during a press conference held on Thursday in Pittsburgh, where Metcalf was introduced as the newest member of the Steelers after his recent trade from the Seattle Seahawks.
Metcalf, 27, shared that he proposed to Normani in Houston, Texas, in front of their families during a special gathering. Sporting a Steelers jersey, Normani proudly displayed her sparkling diamond ring as Metcalf encouraged her to show it off to the audience. “She’s right there, hold that ring up, 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦,” he exclaimed, celebrating the moment.
The proposal took Normani by surprise, as she later admitted, “They got me good,” adding that the engagement had been in the works for some time. Metcalf revealed he had initially planned to propose last year, but conflicting schedules with Normani’s music career delayed his plans. He expressed his romantic intentions by sending her flowers, each accompanied by a note, culminating in the question, “Will you marry me?” to which she enthusiastically responded with a “yes.”
The couple, who made their relationship public in 2022, were first introduced by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson in 2020. Metcalf reflected on their instant connection, saying, “We hit it off from day one.” Following the press conference, the couple posed for photos with Metcalf’s new Steelers helmet and a copy of his impressive $150 million contract.
Fans from both Normani’s and Metcalf’s communities flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating their engagement and the budding power couple they have become. While many were thrilled, some expressed surprise at the couple’s two-year relationship, having only recently learned of their romance.
In a previous interview, Normani described Metcalf as an “answered prayer,” highlighting her happiness in the relationship. As the couple embarks on this new chapter together, both fans and followers eagerly anticipate what the future holds for them.
