\t\t\t\t\tDK Metcalf Reveals Engagement to Normani During Press Conference: \u2018Hold That Rock Up,\u00a0Baby\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tWhile stopping by The Jennifer Hudson Show <\/em>on Friday (April 4), Normani told her side of the story, describing how the new member of the Pittsburgh Steelers popped the question during a family gathering in Houston. \u201cI had absolutely no idea,\u201d she began. \u201cAs oblivious as oblivious can get, that was me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe former Fifth Harmony member went on to explain that Metcalf was originally going to propose to her a year prior on a trip to Turks and Caicos, but ultimately decided to wait as not to overshadow the June 2024 release of Normani\u2019s debut solo album, Dopamine<\/em>. Fast forward to last month, when the wide receiver tricked the musician into thinking that she was headed to a birthday celebration for his sister \u2014 but really, it was her own engagement that she walked into.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m like, dang, I hope I don\u2019t ruin the surprise\u2026 I thought I was in on the surprise, but I got surprised,\u201d Normani told Hudson, noting that the room in which Metcalf proposed was decorated with bunches of flowers, as well as a violinist and pianist. \u201cHe really did it up for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cWild Side\u201d musician\u2019s visit to the talk show comes just a few weeks after Metcalf revealed their engagement<\/a> during an NFL press conference following his recent trade from the Seattle Seahawks to the Steelers. \u201cHold that rock up, baby,\u201d he said at the time, gesturing to Normani sitting nearby, before telling reporters: \u201cIt was my sister\u2019s spring break and just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe couple first sparked dating rumors in summer 2022, going official on Instagram a year later. They were introduced by Ciara and Russell Wilson, who played with Metcalf on the Seahawks. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Ciara] kept telling me, \u2018There\u2019s this guy, there\u2019s this guy,\u2019 for literally like two years,\u201d Normani told Hudson on Friday. \u201cI was in a relationship at the time\u2026 but then when the time came around and the time was right, God put all of that together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso on the show, Normani played a game of \u201cShake It or Share It,\u201d wherein she had to either answer personal questions or bust a move in different styles of dance. While avoiding queries about secrets she hasn\u2019t told her parents and the craziest things fans have done, the X Factor <\/em>alum showed off her impressive breakdancing and disco skills. She did, however, reveal which celebrity she\u2019d have officiate her wedding to Metcalf \u2014 \u201cCiara, easy,\u201d she said\u201d \u2014 as well as if she wants to have kids someday. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Normani replied. \u201cMy dream has always been four. I want a big family.\u201d<\/p>\n
