The Proposal and Its Special Date
Fans got their first look at the engagement on Tuesday, July 28, when the couple shared a joint Instagram post of the proposal. One photo showed Herbert on bended knee holding a ring box while Beer crouched in front of him, according to NFL.com. Congratulations poured in from the NFL, the Chargers and singer Gracie Abrams.
But the timeline had a twist — Herbert actually popped the question two days earlier. Beer explained on Twitch that July 26 was the one-year anniversary of the day he asked her to be his girlfriend, per PEOPLE. (The comments circulated via a fan-posted screen recording on TikTok.)
"Very cute. My heart can't take it," Beer shared during the livestream.
She added that the two had been together a bit before making things official, so the date marks a milestone rather than a starting line. Beer also called the engagement magical and said she feels lucky to be marrying Herbert.
Then came the question everyone had been asking: what does the ring look like?

Beer answered that one herself. She described the diamond as an antique elongated cushion, noting that its rounded edges are part of the appeal and that she loves the antique quality, per PEOPLE.
Neither Beer nor Herbert has shared a price, so every number floating around is an educated guess. Per PEOPLE, wedding jewelry experts and designers predicted the ring could cost upward of $1 million, while another ballpark estimate lands between $500,000 and $640,000.

Beer hasn't confirmed a carat weight in the comments reported so far. Scroll down for what Herbert has said about the big moment.
What Justin Herbert Said About It
The engagement landed just as Chargers training camp opened, so reporters wasted no time asking about it. Herbert, 28, is entering his seventh season with the team, and he was asked whether the proposal or his first NFL start had him more on edge.
"The proposal, for sure," Herbert said on the first day of camp in July 2026, per ESPN.
It's a telling answer from a quarterback who has faced NFL pass rushes since his rookie year. Herbert also shared with SiriusXM NFL Radio that the engagement is everything he has always dreamed of, adding that it's hard to explain how incredible it has been, per PEOPLE.
His coach is firmly in their corner, too. When Herbert missed part of voluntary offseason workouts in May to support Beer on tour, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said he offered a very practical response.
"Do you need a ride to the airport?" Harbaugh said, per NFL.com.
Harbaugh also said he was happy the quarterback was cheering on his future wife, which says plenty about the close-knit atmosphere around the team.
How Their Romance Unfolded
Beer, who first gained attention in 2012 when pop star Justin Bieber shared her cover of "At Last," has long lived in the spotlight. Herbert, by contrast, is known for keeping his personal life private. That made their rare public moments feel like events.
The pair were first spotted together in August 2025 on the set of a music video Beer was filming, which sparked dating rumors, per ESPN. Beer began appearing at Chargers games, and the couple confirmed their relationship with a sideline kiss before the team's Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. They've since turned up at Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers games, and Herbert went viral when he shielded Beer from a loose ball courtside.
Herbert went Instagram official in March around Beer's 27th birthday. He later co-starred in the video for her song "lovergirl," released in May as part of her album locket deluxe.
Fans quickly placed the couple in a growing club of pop star and NFL romances alongside Taylor Swift and singer-actress Hailee Steinfeld, who married NFL MVP Josh Allen.
What's Next for the Couple
No wedding date, venue or guest list has been announced (as of September 2026). With the NFL season underway, Herbert's schedule is packed, and Beer has kept her own calendar busy with music and touring.
For now, the couple appears to be enjoying the moment. If you're following more celebrity romance news, catch up on Kim Kardashian's Eiffel Tower kiss photo with Lewis Hamilton or Taylor Swift's new single announcement.
