Justin Herbert and Madison Beer announce engagement

Pop star Madison Beer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert announced their engagement on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. The couple shared the news through a joint Instagram post with the caption Meet my fiancé.

The announcement featured a series of photos showing Herbert on one knee in a grass field surrounded by a colorful garden. Other images in the post showed Herbert carrying Beer over his shoulder and a sign reading the first Mr. And Mrs. Herbert.

The news comes at a high point for Beer. On July 13, 2026, she headlined a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden, an event she had long manifested, to conclude her Locket Tour. Earlier in the year, in January, she released Locket, which achieved a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200.

The pair first sparked dating rumors in August 2025. According to reports, they were first spotted together in mid-August of that year when Herbert was seen with Beer during a music video shoot, where he was introduced to members of her production team. In the following months, the couple was seen at various sporting events throughout the Los Angeles area.

The relationship has seen Herbert, who was previously described as a mostly private person focused on football, move into a more public spotlight. This shift included appearing in the music video for Beer's single lovergirl, a song lasting nearly three-and-a-half minutes that depicts the couple sharing a photo booth and spending time together on a beach.

Professional commitments have also intersected with their personal lives. Herbert chose to skip organized team activities earlier this offseason to support Beer at the start of her Locket Tour, a decision that reportedly made Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh happy.

The engagement is the second major wedding-related event in the NFL this offseason, following the marriage of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift on July 3, 2026.

Peer musicians reacted to the news on social media. Tate McRae wrote, Oh my goooodnesss congrats, while Gracie Abrams wrote, Ohhhhhhh so happy for you I love you! The Los Angeles Chargers also shared a congratulatory post on X.

The timing of the proposal coincides with the start of the NFL season. As veteran players are slated to report to Chargers training camp on Tuesday, July 28, Herbert enters his seventh year in the league. He follows a season characterized as an up-and-down campaign where he played behind a banged up offensive line.

Looking ahead to the 2026 season, the Chargers have a new offensive coordinator in Mike McDaniel. Herbert will now seek a Super Bowl ring to add to his résumé alongside his new engagement.
