Nothing warms our hearts more than a few celebrity engagements. Not because being married is the biggest accolade an adult can have, but because we could all do with some good news now and again. Plus, comparing notes on celebs’ extortionate engagement rings is basically a certified hobby.
So let’s celebrate the ones that made the decision to put a ring on it; the ones that said yes; and the ones that still believe in fairy tale endings.
Here are all the celebrity engagements we can’t stop obsessing over:
Sofia Richie is the latest celeb to have put a ring on it. The model shared the happy news of her engagement to music executive Elliot Grainge, posting on Instagram a photo of the moment Elliot proposed, as well as a close-up of the enormous diamond engagement ring. She captioned the post, “Forever isn’t long enough.” So cute.

Avril Lavigne has also said ‘yes’ to a trip down the aisle. The singer Mod Sun (real name Derek Ryan Smith) popped the question on 27 March, sharing the news on his Instagram writing “The day we met I knew you were the one. Together forever til our days are done.
“I had a dream where I proposed in Paris. I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes. You’re too beautiful for my words to describe. I grabbed your hand + took one last breath… I said “will you marry me?” + she said ‘yes’.”

Avril confirmed the news during an interview with People, saying, “It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment.”
On Valentine’s Day, American gymnast (and most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time) Simone Biles announced her engagement to NFL star Jonathan Owens, calling it “the easiest yes” and adding, “I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ.”

Simone kindly shared a close-up of the engagement ring, which you can see (in all its glory), here:
Bombshell Megan Fox and American rapper Machine Gun Kelly are also heading for the altar.
The proposal took place under a tree very special to the couple, and involved a ritual of drinking each other’s blood… To each their own, we guess!
On Sunday 28th November last year, Lindsay Lohan also announced that she’s engaged to Bader Shammas, her boyfriend of two years. “My love. My life. My family. My future. #love,” she captioned the carousel on Instagram showing the happy couple smiling and embracing.

Earlier in November, Kristen Stewart became engaged to Dylan Meyer after two years of dating. She revealed on the The Howard Stern Show that Dylan proposed to her, saying, “We’re marrying, we’re totally gonna do it.
“I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out what I wanted and she nailed it. We’re marrying, it’s happening.”
Then in October, there was of course Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker who shared the exciting news of their engagement. And OFC, the proposal looked incredibly romantic.
Kourtney took to Instagram to post a snap of the pair embracing within a dramatic display of roses – right next to the ocean. She captioned the post, “Forever,” and Travis commented “FOREVER ♾.”

A source told E! News, “It happened during the sunset at Rosewood Miramar. They had just got back from NYC and decided to do a day trip to Montecito. Kourtney thought it was going to be a casual day, as they always go to Rosewood, and she was totally thrown off.”
Kate Hudson also recently announced her engagement. Ahead of attending the Met Gala 2021, she posted to Instagram to announce that she and Danny Fujikawa will be tying the knot. Sharing a snap of her and her husband-to-be embracing next to the beach (and showing off a sparkly ring and a fresh mani), with the caption, “Let’s go!”

Britney Spears also announced her engagement in September 2021. Just days after it was announced that her father is stepping down as her conservator, which prevented her from marrying long-term boyfriend Sam or having more children, the singer took to Instagram to post a video showing her stunning engagement ring.
