Somebody crack the champagne—Madison Beer and Justin Herbert are engaged.
On Tuesday, the Chargers quarterback and pop singer revealed news of their betrothal with a sweet post on Instagram. The 12-photo gallery was captioned "meet my fiancé," and was set to the Perry Como song "And I Love You So."
Beer also posted an engagement montage on TikTok, set to the song "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon.
Prior to their relationship, Beer, 27, had been coupled up with social media star Nick Austin from about 2020-2025, while Herbert, 28, was briefly linked to NFL reporter Taylor Bisciotti in 2021 (no relationship was ever confirmed).
The singer and QB were first spotted canoodling in August 2025, which means their engagement is coming after less than a year of dating. Below, let's take a look at the full timeline of their relationship.
