Put a Ring on It: 2025’s Celebrity Engagements that Caught Us Off Guard

We’re not even halfway through 2025, and it’s already surprising. From President Trump’s tax tariffs to global unrest, the world craves relief. This is why we often turn to celebrity gossip for light-hearted news.

In Celebville, engagements are being announced like holiday prizes. Some were expected, while others shocked us. Here’s a look at surprising celebrity engagements that caught our attention.

#1. Zendaya and Tom Holland

This engagement was unexpected. Zendaya and Tom Holland have been private since 2016. They confirmed their relationship in 2021 but kept things low-key.

The couple dodged questions from paparazzi and media alike. However, gossip intensified when Zendaya wore a giant diamond ring at the Golden Globes.

When asked about their status, she shrugged her shoulders. A day later, a source confirmed Holland proposed. We think they might have eloped to a private island.

#2. Kayleigh Schwark and Naked DJ

The engagement of this ‘Young, Famous & African’ couple shocked many viewers. Their romance played out on Netflix with ups and downs.

Schwark wanted long-term commitment from Naked DJ but faced tensions instead. In season three, Quinton Masina proposed, and she said “Yes!”

Despite their rocky start, the proposal was intimate. Schwark shared her diamond engagement ring on Instagram.

How Much Does a 3-Carat Diamond Cost?

Diamonds are often considered a girl’s best friend. A 3-carat diamond ring symbolizes everlasting love.

Prices vary based on cut, color, and clarity—the 3Cs of diamonds matter greatly. An ideal cut diamond with G color and VS1 clarity costs around $60,000.

Natural 3-carat diamonds can range from $20,000 to over $200,000.

#3. DK Metcalf and Normani

DK Metcalf proudly showed off his engagement ring at a press conference in March after signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers for $150 million over five years.

Normani admitted she was surprised by the proposal during a trip to Houston. She thought she was attending a surprise birthday dinner for Metcalf's sister.

Instead, she found flowers and musicians playing at his family home when he proposed on one knee.

Metcalf first saw Normani in her ‘Motivation’ music video while in another relationship but felt love at first sight. Romance rumors began in 2022.

As we approach mid-2025, who knows what surprises await our favorite couples? Perhaps Cristiano Ronaldo will propose to Georgina Rodriguez next!

A word of advice: The pressure is on for an amazing engagement ring! Do your research on diamonds and remember the importance of the 3Cs! If you like it, put a ring on it!
