DK Metcalf engaged to girlfriend Normani following Steelers contract
From a blockbuster trade to a romantic engagement, DK Metcalf’s life has been a whirlwind of excitement this week. Follow his latest announcement regarding ex-Fifth Harmony member.
DK Metcalf is living a dream week. After being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the star receiver proposed to his longtime girlfriend, singer Normani, and officially began his journey with his new team—all while celebrating a major milestone in his personal life. “It’s been a great week,” Metcalf said during his introductory press conference, reflecting on the whirlwind of events.
Metcalf’s week kicked off with a major career move. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired the talented wide receiver from the Seattle Seahawks, marking a fresh start for the 26-year-old athlete. By Thursday, Metcalf was officially introduced as a Steeler, donning the team’s iconic black-and-gold colors and switching his jersey number from 14 to 4.

DK Metcalf proposes to Normani in Houston
Amid the chaos of his trade, Metcalf found time to make a lifelong commitment. On Wednesday, he proposed to Normani, the Grammy-nominated singer and former member of Fifth Harmony. The proposal took place in Houston, surrounded by their families, and was the culmination of a carefully planned effort.
Metcalf revealed that he had originally intended to propose last year but postponed it due to Normani’s busy schedule. In the lead-up to the big moment, he sent her flowers with heartfelt notes attached. The final bouquet included a note that read, “Will you marry me?”
Normani, visibly thrilled, joined Metcalf at the Steelers’ facility on Thursday, proudly wearing his new No. 4 jersey. At Metcalf’s prompting, she even showed off her stunning engagement ring to reporters, adding a touch of glamour to the day.
When did DK Metcalf and Normani start dating?
The timing of Metcalf’s proposal feels especially fitting, given his ties to former Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson, who played alongside Metcalf in Seattle, and his wife, Ciara, initially introduced the couple back in 2020.
Metcalf shared that he spoke with Wilson about the engagement but avoided discussing the quarterback’s uncertain future with the Steelers. “We talked about the engagement, but not his status with the team,” Metcalf said.
Their engagement shouldn't come off as a big shocker. The two lovebirds have been smitten with each other ever since they started officially dating in 2022.
