Seattle Seahawks star DK Metcalf and singer Normani have been making headlines lately, not just for their individual careers but also for their blossoming relationship. From a surprise engagement to major career shifts, here’s everything you need to know about the power couple.
DK Metcalf Pops the Question
On March 13, 2025, DK Metcalf, the 27-year-old wide receiver, proposed to his longtime girlfriend, 28-year-old singer Normani, in a heartfelt moment during a family gathering in Houston. The two have kept their romance relatively private, but sources close to the couple revealed that Metcalf had been planning the proposal for months.
Metcalf and Normani were first rumored to be dating in 2023 after being spotted together at several events. Reports suggest that their mutual friends, Ciara and Russell Wilson, helped introduce them in 2020, but it wasn’t until years later that their romance took off.
DK Metcalf’s Move to the Steelers
Just days before the engagement, Metcalf made waves in the sports world with a blockbuster trade. The Seattle Seahawks traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a second-round draft pick. Metcalf, who had been a key player for the Seahawks since being drafted in 2019, signed a massive five-year, $150 million contract extension with the Steelers.
In a statement following the trade, Metcalf expressed his excitement about joining the team, stating,
Pittsburgh has an incredible football culture, and I can’t wait to bring my energy to the field.
His addition to the Steelers is expected to bolster their offense significantly as they look to make a deep playoff run in the upcoming season.
Normani’s Music Career on the Rise
While Metcalf has been making moves in the NFL, Normani has been making waves in the music industry. In June 2024, she finally released her long-awaited debut album, Dopamine. Featuring hit singles like “1:59” with Gunna and “Candy Paint,” the album received mixed to positive reviews, highlighting her versatility as an artist.
Despite the album’s first-week sales of 12,000 units being lower than expected, Normani’s fanbase remains dedicated, and she continues to push forward with new projects. There are rumors that she’s already back in the studio working on a follow-up album, aiming to solidify her place in the industry.

With a wedding to plan, a new football season ahead, and a potential second album in the works, DK Metcalf and Normani are set for an exciting year. The couple’s relationship, combined with their professional achievements, has captured the attention of fans across both the sports and music industries.
