Madison Beer and NFL quarterback Justin Herbert get engaged

Pop star Madison Beer and NFL quarterback Justin Herbert have announced they are engaged after dating for around a year.

They shared the happy news together on social media on Tuesday, with Beer captioning the post: ‘Meet my fiance.’

For Herbert, the news rounds out his offseason before he heads into the first day of training camp on Tuesday with the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the 2026 season.

They were first spotted together in August 2025, at a music video shoot for Beer followed by a restaurant trip together.

Weeks later, they were spotted holding hands together in Los Angeles the day after Herbert led the Chargers to a big win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil for their first game of the 2025 NFL season.

From there, they were often seen in public with Beer also regularly cheering Herbert on from the stands throughout the football season.

Experts think Herbert may have spent up to $640,000 on the ring.

‘From the images shared, the engagement ring appears to feature a large elongated cushion-cut diamond, set on a slim band, most likely in platinum or white gold,’ Laura Taylor, a jeweller at Lorel Diamonds, said.

‘The centre stone looks to be around 5 to 6 carats, particularly from how much of her finger it covers in the pH๏τos. It’s a size that we’ve come to expect from celebrity engagements nowadays, where the diamond takes centre stage. 

‘I would estimate it to be worth between $400,000 and $640,000 depending on the exact carat weight, colour and clarity of the diamond.’

The singer praised the impact Herbert has had on her life in an interview on the ‘Call her Daddy’ podcast last December.

‘I feel, like, taken care of in a way that I can break down and like I have someone to lean on,’ she said. 

‘When I’m having a convo with my boyfriend, my hair could be on fire and I wouldn’t notice. And to be honest with you, he’s the first person I’ve ever felt that way about.

‘Like, the world could be ending around me and I wouldn’t realize. It’s just so mature.  He came into my life at the perfect time. Our first date was literally at my house because we were scared to go in public.’

Beer has been touring the world in the NFL offseason, supported by her husband-to-be

Herbert, who is midway through a five-year, $262.5million contract with the Chargers, has been equally as flattering about how meeting Beer has changed him and during the NFL offseason has supporter her on her worldwide ‘The Locket’ tour this year.

Beer traveled throughout Europe in support of her new record before embarking on a North America tour that saw her headline Madison Square Garden.

In a social media post to celebrate Beer’s 27th birthday, Herbert wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my favorite person of all time. I love you so much. You’ve changed my life forever.’

But for all of his happiness outside of the game, Herbert heads into 2026 with a major point to prove on the field.

Last season, the Chargers’ campaign ended with a brutal 16-3 loss against the New England Patriots, taking Herbert’s postseason record to 0-3 with the team. 

The Chargers start the new season on September 13 against Arizona Cardinals. The Super Bowl is held in Los Angeles next year – extra incentive for Herbert to get over his postseason jinx.
