Madison Beer and Justin Herbert Announce Engagement

Pop music and NFL worlds collided once again as singer Madison Beer and Los Angeles Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert announced their engagement on July 28. The couple shared the happy news through a joint Instagram post, accompanied by photos of the romantic proposal and a caption that simply read, meet my fiancé.

The Proposal Photos and Celebrity Reactions

The couple documented their engagement with an idyllic carousel of images on Instagram, set in a flower-strewn garden against a backdrop of mossy mountains. In one photograph, Herbert wore a white T-shirt, black jeans, and sneakers as he dropped to one knee with a jewelry box, while Beer crouched down in front of him. Another image captured the NFL star lifting the singer over his shoulder as she showed off her new diamond ring to the camera. Additional photos showed the pair dancing, kissing, and smiling together, alongside a wooden sign that read, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert.

Beer, 27, wore a low-rise, knee-grazing lace skirt and a cropped ivory sweater, pairing her diamond sparkler with a retro-chic stiletto French manicure reminiscent of the 1960s. Friends, family, and fellow celebrities quickly filled the comment sections with congratulatory messages. Singer Gracie Abrams wrote, Ohhhhhh so happy for you I love you, while content creator Markell Washington added, OMG OMG MADISON THE ROYAL WEDDING IS APPROACHING, I’m so happy for you you deserve this!!! Beer’s mother, Tracie, also shared her joy on social media, writing that her heart was glowing and her eyes would not stop watering with tears of joy.

From Music Video Set to Public Romance

The engagement follows roughly one year of dating for the couple, whose romance first sparked in August 2025 when Herbert was spotted on the set of a music video Beer was filming in Los Angeles. Fans quickly connected the dots, and the pair soon went public, frequently appearing together at sporting events around Los Angeles, including Los Angeles Lakers basketball games and SoFi Stadium sidelines where the Chargers play. Herbert later made a cameo appearance in the music video for Beer’s single lovergirl.

Known as a private person strictly focused on football, Herbert’s public profile shifted after his relationship with Beer became known. Earlier this year, the quarterback notably skipped organized team activities to support Beer at the start of her USA Today, a decision that drew approval from Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh.

“He flies all the time, like when they’re in season, like every single week, and I could never, So it makes me feel better that he’s taken so many flights and they’ve all been OK, so I’m like, it’s fine. That’s how my brain thinks about it.”

Training Camp Preps and Upcoming Season Stakes

The engagement arrives just ahead of a demanding professional stretch for Herbert. The announcement comes days before the quarterback is scheduled to report to Chargers Training Camp presented by UCLA Health, with open public practices starting Wednesday, July 29. Drafted sixth overall by the Chargers in the 2020 NFL Draft, Herbert has guided the franchise to playoff berths in 2022, 2024, and 2025.

Following an up-and-down campaign last year behind a depleted offensive line, Herbert enters the 2026 season looking for fresh momentum alongside a new offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel. Analysts point out that the engagement places the couple alongside prominent athlete-musician pairings like Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift, who married earlier in July.
