Normani engaged to newly traded Pittsburgh Steeler DK Metcalf

Normani has found her “Motivation” for forever.

The 28-year-old singer and newly traded Pittsburgh Steeler DeKaylin “DK” Metcalf are engaged, the NFL star announced to reporters at a press conference Thursday.

While answering if he had gotten engaged the day prior, the wide receiver pointed out the former Fifth Harmony member was in attendance, telling her to “hold that ring up, baby!”

Metcalf, 27, said he proposed in Houston when the couple’s families were together. “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,” he said.

Metcalf added he “tried to” propose last year, but “she’s a singer and her work conflicted with the schedule,” so he ultimately decided to take a different approach.

“I started sending her flowers with a story, and then the last letter on the flower was ‘Will you marry me?’ And she said yes,” he said with a smile.

Metcalf later shouted out his “beautiful fiancée” as he prepared for his visit with the

Steelers. He requested a trade last week after spending the first six seasons of his pro career with the Seattle Seahawks, the team that drafted him in the second round (64th overall) in the 2019 draft. The NFL Network reported his deal with the Steelers was for five years and $150 million.

The couple first announced they were dating in 2023, according to People. The couple is very private, with neither posting the other on their main Instagram feeds.

Musically, Normani has been relatively quiet since her long-awaited debut album “Dopamine,” in June, following the singles “Wild Side,” “1:59” with Gunna and “Candy Paint.”

The singer has made a handful of guest appearances since, including the Khalid track “Personal” and the Gunna song “$$$.”
