AceShowbiz - Normani Kordei and DeKaylin "DK" Metcalf are celebrating their engagement with none other than Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson. The married couple played cupid and introduced them three years ago.
Metcalf announced the engagement during a press conference following his trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Pittsburgh Steelers. "Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me," he said in a video posted on Instagram. "Can't wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation."
Following the proposal, the newly engaged couple FaceTimed with their matchmakers. Ciara shared a screenshot of the memorable call, showcasing a beaming Normani holding up her stunning oval-shaped engagement ring.
Ciara's excitement was palpable in her caption, "@Russell Wilson and I knew when we introed yall 3yrs ago ..love was truly in the air! Now yall gon be booed up for forever!! This was the best news!"
The love story began at one of Ciara's parties in 2022. "They was playing cupid, but it worked," Normani shared in an interview.
Ciara and Wilson's matchmaking efforts successfully brought Normani and DK together, and the rest, as they say, is history. The pair went public with their romance in July 2023, when Normani posted a photo of Metcalf kissing her cheek.
Metcalf detailed his family-centered proposal in Houston, during his sister's Spring Break. "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.
The love story of Normani and DK Metcalf is one filled with friendship and serendipity. Thanks to the matchmaking efforts of Ciara and Russell Wilson, the couple found their way to each other and are now set to spend their lives together. This sweet set-up serves as a beautiful reminder to cherish the friends who help guide us to our true loves.
