AceShowbiz - Normani Kordei and NFL star DeKaylin "DK" Metcalf engaged. The joyous news was revealed by DK during a press conference following his trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The press event became even more memorable when DK gestured to Normani, urging her to show off her sparkling new diamond ring. "Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me," the 27-year-old wide receiver gushed. "Can't wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation."
DK, who was previously with the Seattle Seahawks, detailed his romantic proposal to the Fifth Harmony alum during the conference. He orchestrated the engagement with meticulous planning, choosing a special family gathering in Houston for the unforgettable moment.
"Her family and my family were in Houston. It was my sister's spring break and I just thought about getting the whole family together just for a big Kumbaya and, you know, joining our families with the ring," DK explained.
Normani, visibly moved, admitted that the proposal caught her completely by surprise, adding, "They got me good."
Normani, 28, was seen proudly standing beside her future husband at the press conference, dressed in a Steelers jersey. Her engagement ring drew as much attention as DK's monumental $150 million contract with his new team.
The couple's love story began in 2020, thanks to an introduction by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, singer Ciara. "Back in 2020, Russ connected me and my now-fiancée Normani," DK shared, emphasizing the strong bond that formed almost instantly.
The couple went public in 2022, and they became Instagram official a year later when Normani posted a photo of herself kissing DK. She fondly referred to DK as an "answered prayer" during a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone.
Fans of both stars have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, with Normani's fanbase, affectionately known as “The Nation,” showing particular enthusiasm. People shared their surprise and excitement, filling the comments with warm wishes and humor. One fan tweeted, “No wonder she doesn't care about her career, she's in love,” while another joked, “So THAT'S why dopamine was abandoned [crying emoji].”
With their fans buzzing and a new chapter beginning both personally and professionally, Normani and DK Metcalf are undoubtedly a power couple to watch. From their beautifully orchestrated engagement to their respective successful careers, the lovebirds have a bright future ahead.
